Hi Jean-Philippe,
Technically speaking, to return a representation from a PUT/POST you can just
access to the response's entity from the
store/acceptRepresentation method:
getResponse().setEntity(myEntity);

Objet : Re: Returning data after PUT/POST
I'm not sure if this will help you, but in case of a PUT, you already
know the url, issuing a GET to the same url
should (by your implementation) return the same entity body you
presented in the PUT. If you want to retrieve a 'more informative'
representation (i.e. including the 'internal' id), you could add a
query parameter to the url.
Alternatively (more appropriate in case of a POST) you can return a
201 Created status code [1] (with Location headers and url's in the
entity body) or a 202 Accepted status code
[1] http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.2.2
HTH,
