Talk to a Seam guy about JSF/templating/JAX-RS.
They had an example of something here:

Well it certainly can be done with Facelets/JSF1 for outgoing
representations, I have tested that already. The same should be doable
in JSF2 with the "integrated" Facelets and even with JCDI although the
outjection part in my prototype is a neat solution.
The biggest issue is: How do you translate an incoming XHTML
representation back into a model graph? I can see several solutions
for that but none of them are easy to implement in JSF1 so I can't say
for sure if it's a good idea overall. I have not touched JSF2/JCDI.
So I'd say: This should probably not be a part of JAX-RS if it can be
successfully prototyped with JSF2/JCDI. Such prototyping might reveal
some minor changes or additions (like an annotation) that should be
made in JAX-RS 2.0 to support that feature.
