how to implement MessageBodyWriter method writeTo for json response?

问题

How should I configure writeTo method so that it convert detail to json response .

  @Override
public void writeTo(Detail detail, Class<?> type, Type genericType, Annotation[] annotation, MediaType mediaType,
        MultivaluedMap<String, Object> httpHeaders, OutputStream entityStream) throws IOException, WebApplicationException 
{

     try {
            JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(detail.getClass());
            // serialize the entity myBean to the entity output stream
            jaxbContext.createMarshaller().marshal(detail, entityStream);


        } catch (JAXBException jaxbException) {
            jaxbException.printStackTrace();
            throw new ProcessingException(
                "Error serializing a "+ detail +" to the output stream", jaxbException);
        }

}

Yet now I am getting XML response from it.

MY resource code is:

   @POST
@Produces({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
@Path("testDetail")
public TestDetail testDetail()
{

    TestDetail testDetail = new TestDetail();
  return testDetail;
}

Why are you writing your own MessageBodyWriter for JSON? Don't reinvent the wheel.

Use one JSON provider that integrates with Jersey and it will provide you a MessageBodyWriter implementation. At time of writing, Jersey integrates with the following modules to provide JSON support:

MOXy
Java API for JSON Processing (JSON-P)
Jackson
Jettison

Using Jackson as a JSON provider

See below the steps required to use Jackson as a JSON provider for Jersey 2.x:

Adding Jackson module dependencies

To use Jackson 2.x as your JSON provider you need to add jersey-media-json-jackson module to your pom.xml file:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.media</groupId>
    <artifactId>jersey-media-json-jackson</artifactId>
    <version>2.23.1</version>
</dependency>

To use Jackson 1.x it'll look like:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.media</groupId>
    <artifactId>jersey-media-json-jackson1</artifactId>
    <version>2.23.1</version>
</dependency>

Registering Jackson module

Besides adding the dependency mentioned above, you need to register JacksonFeature (or Jackson1Feature for Jackson 1.x) in your Application/ResourceConfig sub-class:

@ApplicationPath("/api")
public class MyApplication extends Application {

    @Override
    public Set<Class<?>> getClasses() {
        Set<Class<?>> classes = new HashSet<Class<?>>();
        classes.add(JacksonFeature.class);
        return classes;
    }
}

@ApplicationPath("/api")
public class MyApplication extends ResourceConfig {

    public MyApplication() {
        register(JacksonFeature.class);
    }
}

If you don't have an Application/ResourceConfig sub-class, you can register the JacksonFeature in your web.xml deployment descriptor. The specific resource, provider and feature fully-qualified class names can be provided in a comma-separated value of jersey.config.server.provider.classnames initialization parameter.

<init-param>
    <param-name>jersey.config.server.provider.classnames</param-name>
    <param-value>org.glassfish.jersey.jackson.JacksonFeature</param-value>
</init-param>

The MessageBodyWriter provided by Jackson is JacksonJsonProvider.

For more details, check the Jersey documentation about support for common media type representations.

You shouldn't need to be writing your own serialization code. You are probably missing the jersey-media-json-jackson artifact dependency. Look through this example.
