I guess I misconfigured it the first time around. I've got it working with my 
own provider, so in the interest of not fixing what isn't broken, I'll probably 
keep it as is.

As far as the breadcrumbs go, I figured out that by matching the top element I 
can figure out what REST endpoint was hit and build the breadcrumbs based on 
that assumption.

Thanks for the feedback.

XSLTJaxbProvider should certainly work alongside JAXB and JSON providers.

You can actually have only XSLTJaxbProvider there and set its 'supportJaxbOnly' 
property - XSLTJaxbProvider will simply delegate to the superclass in its 
writeTo whenever it has no any specific work to do for a given bean; so you can 
configure it exactly the same way as you configure JAXBElementProvider plus all 
the XSLT extras...

Another option is to use RequestDispatcherProvider and get the response 
redirected to JSP or some other view handler:

Or may try XMLInstruction annotation:
