Hi,
I wrote an answer for Jersey 2.x and then I notices you have in the email subject “jersey 1.0”. So, this is the answer for Jersey 2.x:
for such a purpose like a logging I would use Monitoring support in Jersey [1]. You can register the ApplicationEventListener which would return an implementation of RequestEventListener from onRequest() method. Your RequestEventListener implementation will log on event type RESOURCE_METHOD_START. You can get the UriInfo by RequestEvent.getUriInfo(). UriInfo contains information about path parameters.
Another option is to use ContainerRequestFilter (but it must NOT be @Prematching filter). There you can access UriInfo too (ContainerRequestContext.getUriInfo()). If you need to log only this case then the filter is fine. If you decide to log more events (like exception mappers, responses) the monitoring support described above is more suitable I would say (you can hook to many places of request processing)
For Jersey 1.x you can use the solution with ContainerRequestFilter.
I hope this helps.
