One way to get a handle on the ServiceLocator is to implement a Feature.

import javax.inject.Inject;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Feature;
import javax.ws.rs.core.FeatureContext;
import org.glassfish.hk2.api.ServiceLocator;
import org.glassfish.hk2.utilities.ServiceLocatorUtilities;

public class ImmediateFeature implements Feature {

    @Inject
    public ImmediateFeature(ServiceLocator locator) {
        ServiceLocatorUtilities.enableImmediateScope(locator);            
    }

    @Override
    public boolean configure(FeatureContext context) {
        return true;
    }  
}

Then just register the Feature

ResourceConfig rc = new ResourceConfig().packages("jersey.hk2.test");
rc.register(ImmediateFeature.class);

I've tested this and it works fine
