另外，请注意，缺省情况下，如果http代码为400或更多，Jersey将覆盖响应体。

为了得到你指定的实体作为响应体，试着在你的web.xml配置文件的Jersey中添加以下初始化参数:

    <init-param>
        <!-- used to overwrite default 4xx state pages -->
        <param-name>jersey.config.server.response.setStatusOverSendError</param-name>
        <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>

我发现用重复的代码构建json消息非常有用，就像这样:

@POST
@Consumes("application/json")
@Produces("application/json")
public Response authUser(JsonObject authData) {
    String email = authData.getString("email");
    String password = authData.getString("password");
    JSONObject json = new JSONObject();
    if (email.equalsIgnoreCase(user.getEmail()) && password.equalsIgnoreCase(user.getPassword())) {
        json.put("status", "success");
        json.put("code", Response.Status.OK.getStatusCode());
        json.put("message", "User " + authData.getString("email") + " authenticated.");
        return Response.ok(json.toString()).build();
    } else {
        json.put("status", "error");
        json.put("code", Response.Status.NOT_FOUND.getStatusCode());
        json.put("message", "User " + authData.getString("email") + " not found.");
        return Response.status(Response.Status.NOT_FOUND).entity(json.toString()).build();
    }
}

The answer by hisdrewness will work, but it modifies the whole approach to letting a provider such as Jackson+JAXB automatically convert your returned object to some output format such as JSON. Inspired by an Apache CXF post (which uses a CXF-specific class) I've found one way to set the response code that should work in any JAX-RS implementation: inject an HttpServletResponse context and manually set the response code. For example, here is how to set the response code to CREATED when appropriate.

@Path("/foos/{fooId}")
@PUT
@Consumes("application/json")
@Produces("application/json")
public Foo setFoo(@PathParam("fooID") final String fooID, final Foo foo, @Context final HttpServletResponse response)
{
  //TODO store foo in persistent storage
  if(itemDidNotExistBefore) //return 201 only if new object; TODO app-specific logic
  {
    response.setStatus(Response.Status.CREATED.getStatusCode());
  }
  return foo;  //TODO get latest foo from storage if needed
}

改进:在找到另一个相关的答案后，我了解到可以将HttpServletResponse作为成员变量注入，甚至对于单例服务类(至少在RESTEasy中)!!这是一种比用实现细节污染API更好的方法。它看起来是这样的:

@Context  //injected response proxy supporting multiple threads
private HttpServletResponse response;

@Path("/foos/{fooId}")
@PUT
@Consumes("application/json")
@Produces("application/json")
public Foo setFoo(@PathParam("fooID") final String fooID, final Foo foo)
{
  //TODO store foo in persistent storage
  if(itemDidNotExistBefore) //return 201 only if new object; TODO app-specific logic
  {
    response.setStatus(Response.Status.CREATED.getStatusCode());
  }
  return foo;  //TODO get latest foo from storage if needed
}

下面的代码适用于我。通过带注释的setter注入messageContext，并在“add”方法中设置状态代码。

import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

import javax.ws.rs.Consumes;
import javax.ws.rs.DELETE;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.POST;
import javax.ws.rs.PUT;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Context;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;

import org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.ext.MessageContext;

public class FlightReservationService {

    MessageContext messageContext;

    private final Map<Long, FlightReservation> flightReservations = new HashMap<>();

    @Context
    public void setMessageContext(MessageContext messageContext) {
        this.messageContext = messageContext;
    }

    @Override
    public Collection<FlightReservation> list() {
        return flightReservations.values();
    }

    @Path("/{id}")
    @Produces("application/json")
    @GET
    public FlightReservation get(Long id) {
        return flightReservations.get(id);
    }

    @Path("/")
    @Consumes("application/json")
    @Produces("application/json")
    @POST
    public void add(FlightReservation booking) {
        messageContext.getHttpServletResponse().setStatus(Response.Status.CREATED.getStatusCode());
        flightReservations.put(booking.getId(), booking);
    }

    @Path("/")
    @Consumes("application/json")
    @PUT
    public void update(FlightReservation booking) {
        flightReservations.remove(booking.getId());
        flightReservations.put(booking.getId(), booking);
    }

    @Path("/{id}")
    @DELETE
    public void remove(Long id) {
        flightReservations.remove(id);
    }
}

JAX-RS支持标准/自定义HTTP代码。参见ResponseBuilder和ResponseStatus，例如:

http://jackson.codehaus.org/javadoc/jax-rs/1.0/javax/ws/rs/core/Response.ResponseBuilder.html#status%28javax.ws.rs.core.Response.Status%29

请记住，JSON信息更多的是与资源/应用程序关联的数据。HTTP代码更多的是关于被请求的CRUD操作的状态。(至少在REST-ful系统中是这样的)
