i'm new to this - but i thougt the @Produces was for determining the method
to invoke,
as determined by Accepts header in the incoming msg -- not for setting the
outgoing
response Content-Type;
The documentation i have says it always returns the 1st @Produces if both
are
equally acceptable to the client.
