Hello,

I have written a Jersey REST web service which get and put stream of
numerical data over the cloud.
For now, the data is converted to CSV stream.

I have added a parser / writer to binary format, to speed up things and to
reduce the bandwidth usage.

So, for now, I have something like :

    @GET @Path(METHOD_GET_DATA)
    @RolesAllowed(ROLE_READ)
    @Produces({CSV_MIME_TYPE, MY_BINARY_MIME_TYPE})
    public StreamingOutput getData(...) {...};

and

    @POST @Path(METHOD_PUT_DATA)
    @RolesAllowed(ROLE_WRITE)
    @Consumes({CSV_MIME_TYPE, MY_BINARY_MIME_TYPE})
    public String putData(...) { ...}

How do I know which mime type has been "agreed" with the client ?
For the "putData" method, I guess I just need to get the
ServletRequest#getMimeType(), to know
what is the format of the inputstream.

But for the "getData", how do I know which mime type is accepted by the
client ?
Is there a convenience method to get the result of the "agreement" between
the server and the client : The first mime type supported by both ?

Thanks in advance,

Raphael
