Implementing a MessageBodyReader/Writer would be what you need to do in order to do the following:

@GET @Path("details/")
@Produces({ MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML, MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN })
public List details() {
    return manager.details();
}

It's not very much code to write, and if you are able to write it generic enough you will be able to get some re-use out of it.
