I have a related requirement to David's. If I have a list of mime
types that my resource can consume, how do I find out from within my
resource method which mime-type Jersey 'accepted' in order to fire the
current method?
@GET
@Consumes("text/plain,application/json")
@Path("{id}")
public String getId(...) {
// if I'm consuming JSON do this...
// else if it's plain text do this...
}
Thanks,
Louis
