Is there a way to access the CXF message exchange from a JAX-RS REST Resource within CXF?

Question

Currently we have a a RESTful API using CXF 2.4.2. In one of my resource methods, I would like to process some query parameters and store the result in the CXF message exchange

Answer 1

Injecting org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.ext.MessageContext should do too but the code Dan suggests will lead to a simpler code in case of combining JAXWS & JAXRS
