In my experimental Jersey server I had tried adding jettison to the
classpath but I don't think it was using it. Ideally, it would be nice
to be able to run all options so that I could compare the output and
get a better feeling. Is it possible to have three jersey servlets
running with different configurations?
I will have another look around and certainly work my way through more
of the examples (the low-level approach sounds interesting) - and then
I'll be back ;-)
Thanks for your help.

Tom
