If I understand the question correctly. You can use
Request.selectVariant[1] to have Jersey pick the best matching
alternative from a set of available formats that you specify using a
list of Variants. E.g. if you supported JSON and XML for a particular
resource you can write something like:
@Context Request request;
List<Variant> variants =
Variant.mediaTypes(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_TYPE,
MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_TYPE).add().build();
Variant selected = request.selectVariant(variants);
MediaType selectedType = selected.getMediaType();
The above will look at the HTTP Accept header in the request and
determine the best match out of the list you provide.
