Hi
Perhaps you might want to have a method which returns say java awt image and
have @Produces("image/gif") (or whatever the right media type is) on that
method ? There's no default support for serializing Images (perhaps we
should do some work here) so you'll also need to register a message body
writer. Simpler option would likely be returning JAX-RS StreamingOutput
implementation which will help the runtime to write it efficiently... You
can also return File/byte[]/InputStream representing this image
