Actually I was going to use PUT for both partial and full updates.

That's very cool :) Where can I find a list of the kinds of parameters I can
expect JAX-RS or Jersey to provide auto-magically? :)

How does a MessageBodyReader indicate it can parse a certain InputStream
without consuming it in the process of checking? :) The only way I can think
of is using the headers or media type. Is there another way?

So I'm not sure I understand how this is supposed to work. If the server is
using MessageBodyWriter to encode a Java object, doesn't the client need to
know how to decode it? Are you saying it doesn't need to know anything about
MessageBodyReader/Writer so long as it understands the format produced by
the server's MessageBodyWriter?

Excellent, thanks! :)
