There is a Jersey specific solution: use a ContainerResponseFilter and
adapt the ContainerResponseWriter declared on the ContainerResponse to
write to a ByteArrayOutputStream the contents of which are written to
the adapted ContainerResponseWriter on finish.
Why do you need to know the length? for logging purposes or do you
want to set the Content-Length response header?
