Jackson is the JSON library Jersey uses. But there are multiple ways
to use Jackson, so some methods only use it for low-level writing,
whereas others use it for data binding as well. Latter is what would
support wider range types.
It is called something like "POJO support", see
http://jersey.java.net/nonav/documentation/latest/json.html for
example.
