Though its too late from the date of posting the question, thought this might be useful for others who have a similar question. Jersey comes with a test framework called the Jersey Test Framework which allows you to test your RESTful Web Service, including the response status codes. You can use it to run your tests on lightweight containers like Grizzly, HTTPServer and/or EmbeddedGlassFish. Also, the framework could be used to run your tests on a regular web container like GlassFish or Tomcat.
