What is the javax.ws.rs MediaType we need to use for JWT response

Question

What is the MediaType we can use in @Produces annotation if we are expecting the server to return a JWT response?

for application json we can use,

 @Produces({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})

But what if we want it to be application/jwt ?

If we use it as below server will return an error saying
"No message body writer has been found for response class ...."

 @Produces({"application/jwt"})

@LutzHorn Server is sending a JWT. It's actually a JSON response signed and converted into a jwt. — Raveen Athapaththu, Aug 31 '19 at 19:14
A JWT is a string like `eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6IkpvaG4gRG9lIiwiaWF0IjoxNTE2MjM5MDIyfQ.SflKxwRJSMeKKF2QT4fwpMeJf36POk6yJV_adQssw5c`. Is such a string the response your method returns? — , Aug 31 '19 at 19:20
@LutzHorn yes!. Exactly something like that. I hope that is fine? because this is not anything related to authentication or sort of. It's a simple converted response. — Raveen Athapaththu, Sep 01 '19 at 07:02

I would try something like this:

@GET
@Produces("application/jwt")
public Response authenticate(...) {
    String jwt = ...;

    return Response.ok(jwt).build();
}

This should work.
