Dave Marion commented on ACCUMULO-3005:
---------------------------------------

I've only used Jackson for JSON support. Not sure if is supports XML. On my 
project, we return JAX-B objects from all of our JAX-RS endpoints. We have 
providers for XML, JSON, HTML, and even Protobuf (via protostuff) mapped to 
different MediaTypes. The HTTP request will/should have an Accept header and 
the JAX-RS engine will match the provider with the MediaType, and use that 
Provider to serialize the object. We also put our JAX-B objects in a separate 
Client jar for those users that only want to use XML, JSON, etc as the 
transport serialization and then deserialize back to POJOs.

> The monitor works well for what it does, but it's very much so cobbled 
> together. HTML is hand generated. Static state is used liberally which makes 
> testing near impossible. View and controller logic are tightly intertwined 
> which also adds to the testability problem.
> I've been working on porting the functionality from the existing monitor to a 
> proper rest service using 
> [dropwizard|https://dropwizard.github.io/dropwizard/]. It's not completely 
> functional yet, but it has a number of improvements of the existing monitor 
> code.
> I thought I would post what I have already and let people give some feedback 
> if they're interested. Help is always welcome.
