title: How do I configure the date formatter through Genson/Jersey?
body: <p>I'm using Jersey for my RESTful services and Genson to perform my JSON/POJO conversion.  There's no setup for Genson, I just drop it into the classpath and it just works, except that it throws an error on date parsing because the format is unexpected.</p>
  
  <p>Now, if I were to do this as a servlet, using Gson, I set the date format on a Gson instance that I maintain.  That forces the parse of the POJO to use the correct format.  I see that Genson has a similar interface, but I don't know how to get the instance from the Jersey servlet service or maybe the Spring context so that I cat set the format.</p>
  
  <p>So, the short question is: how do I set a date format for Genson when started through Jersey?</p>
