I have been looking more into the issue and have found some more additional issues.
1. As you suggested filters do not work as they are completed before the response is sent to the client. 2. The ConnectorService also does not work as the afterSend method is only called if there was an entity and there were no IO exceptions in streaming the result to the client. The result of this that you will have dangling EntityManagers as they are not closed. What is required is an interceptor/filter which can wrap the entire call to the restlet chain which wraps the handle and commit calls. This would allow you to do setup before the restlet calls and cleanup after the response has been committed. The developer then can include a finally block so that the cleanup is also performed after any exceptions.
