One standard way to do this is through setting Accept headers in your REST client. I've put a demo in CXF to show how to return different content type from same REST service, it is located under "samples\jax_rs\content_negotiation". Grab a latest snapshot of CXF and try it out. Any feedbacks are highly welcome.
