This is referring to a RequestHandler, not a ResponseHandler. In the
request handler the Message object does have correct request uri data,
etc, but I don't have access to the Response object yet.

That's fair. And the controllers could return response objects and
following filters could just iteratively return
Response.fromResponse(). But if we take a step back from filters or
interceptors or whatever implementation approach, here's the problem
I'm trying to solve:

Taking your Location header example - all requests to get or create an
entity should have the location header set to the canonical url of the
resource. Post requests creating a new resource should have a location
header pointing to the newly created resource. That is universally
true, and I should be able to write that code generically. I do not
want to have to set the location header in every controller for every
resource that handles the @POST method. That seems like it should be
doable, and filters or interceptors seemed like the way to do it. Now
I'm not so sure.

So is that a goal worth pursuing, and if yes what is the right approach?
