If I understand the problem correctly, it sounds like a simple servlet filter would do the job nicely.
Map the filter to the same URL pattern the Wink servlet is mapped to, put your pre-processing code in the doFilter method before the doChain call, and put that important post-processing code in the doFilter method *after* the doChain call. Alternatively, you can look into the jax-rs RequestHandler and ResponseHandler features. I'd go with the standard servlet filter if it were me, but the handlers wee an option.

This object needsto have its disconnect() method called on it before the request has been completely finished with (otherwise the remote resource fills up with a load of stale/cached handles). The simplest way to do this is if wink offered a pre/post exit-type facility, so I could setup a variable before any of my handler classes are invoked, and call the disconnect() after they are done. Is there any support in wink for this? If not, are there any examples of overriding the dispatcher so that I can add something just before and just after each handler method is invoked (or class created)? I don't want to have to completely implement the wink dispatcher, just add a line of code before and after a handler method is invoked.
