Have you looked at Atmosphere (which support exactly what you want)?
http://atmosphere.dev.java.net
Atmosphere has a module called Atmosphere Jersey which is exactly what
you are looking for. It works in all WebServer and support Servley 3 as
well.
As for your question, I don't think you can use Jetty Continuation
directly with Jersey. You need a framework (like Atmosphere) to
intercept the request under the hood and prevent Jersey from committing
the response.
You can take a look at Atmosphere's code if you want:
http://github.com/Atmosphere/atmosphere
Look for AtmosphereFilter (Jersey's Filter) and JettyCometSupport.
