A possible way is that your filter may have access to resource method
object allowing you to store the unencrypted data directly - although
this is plucking info from my memory. The other option which should work
is to pass the unencrypted data via a request scoped bean or other
request associated mechanism and access it within the resource method.
Either way you would need to pass some other data to the resource method
to prevent it unmarshalling the xml again and probably alter the media
type such that an alternative handler is used?
