How to get target method of a given JAX-RS request?

Question

Is there a way to obtain the java.lang.reflect.Method of the method (which is annotated with @Path) which will be called for a given HttpServletRequest?

Here is my use case : I'm in a Java EE Filter and want to know if the method which will be invoked later is annotated with another specific annotations.

(I'm using RESTEasy 3.0.7)

It's easy if you can use a ContainerRequestFilter instead of a normal Servlet Filter.

@Provider
public class SomeFilter implements ContainerRequestFilter {

    @Context
    private ResourceInfo resourceInfo;

    @Override
    public void filter(ContainerRequestContext requestContext) throws IOException {
        Method method = resourceInfo.getResourceMethod();
    }

}
