You can look at jersey-ejb [1] sample. There are two MessageBodyWriter
implementations (MessageWriter and MessageListWriter).
Basically all you need to do is annotate MessageBodyWriter descendant
with @Provider annotation (and let jersey find it) and implements its
methods. @Singleton and @Stateless annotations used in that sample are
EJB related and you can ignore them).
