As i can see Wink have a set of providers(jettison, json , > jackson) , here what i suggest is to implement a gson provider too. WDYT? Just an aside, this is something that the CXF JAX-RS implementation would love to have as well. CXF currently does not have anything gson related. With CXF being used as the JAX-RS implementation for TomEE/JAX-RS, there could be a lot of people that could benefit from it. If it can be made "generic" enough (maybe just using the JAX-RS api's) it may be something that the two implementations could share. Or maybe work on becoming a committer on both Wink and CXF. :-) Seriously, there is a severe lack of cooperation between Wink and CXF. Both projects could likely benefit if there was more cooperation. Dan > Other than that i would like to be familiar with the code base.
