    private List<E> list;
    @POST
    public void sort() {
        Collections.sort(list);

        this.list = list;
    }
    public List<E> getList() {
        return list;
    }
}
Explanation

In this the following example, the SortingResource class can sort any list. If the application manages a library of books and exposes the following resource paths, then the SortingResource class can be used for the implementation of all these resource paths, assuming that it could be bound to more than one path.

Apache Wink provides a set of predefined Media-Type mappings for use in such cases by supplying the MediaTypeMapper class. Applications may extend or override the MediaTypeMapper class to define additional mappings.

Customizing Mappings

In order to customize these mappings the application should create a instance of a org.apache.wink.server.internalhandlers.MediaTypeMapper MediaTypeMapperFactory class and set it on the DeploymentConfiguration instancein a customized Wink properties file.
