I don't think there is a best practice for that, you have to write the
code to produce the report as usual using the ouptut format you want,
and wrap that in a Jersey annotated method. At least that how we did it,
but please note that we aren't using the full Jersey stack, so maybe
there are cleaner ways?
@GET
@Path("/reports/{name}")
@Produces("application/pdf")
byte[] executePdf(@PathParam("name")String name,
@MatrixParam("queryparams")Map<String, String> params,
@QueryParam("locale")Locale locale);
