I think it'd be easier to answer this, if you could explain the use case.
But what I generally do is to just take in InputStream, and invoke
binding explicitly (using JAXB for xml, Jackson for JSON), similar to
how I suspect Jersey does. For me the reason to do this is to add some
more error handling, as I can add problem listeners to data binders
and such.
Similarly for output, wrapping response object in StreamingOutput
works well, if I need to tweak output process or catch specific
processing problems.
