There is not the only one JAXB->JSON serializer in Jersey.
In fact there are many, two of them using Jackson underneath.
And to be honest: for backwards compatibility reasons,
the one set by default is not the best one to use.
The simplest answer to your question then would be:
My recommendation is:
1) use (Jackson based) POJO mapping feature as described in [1]
starting from the Jersey version 1.5-ea03, this should also cover
JAXB beans pretty well (i.e. considering JAXB annotations when
serializing JSON)
2) if you need to utilize some special JAXB features, check out the rest
of available
methods described in the user doc
