JsonBindingProvider does not use available genericType info when writing to outputstream

[jerseyrobot]

When trying to write a simple generic entity (Widget) to json I get the warning: Generic bound not found for type T declared in class Widget. I would expect that if I wrap the Widget in a GenericEntity<Widget> that the generic type information that is passed in to the MessageBodyWriter#writeTo method implemented in JsonBindingProvider would be passed on the the jsonb#toJson method as so: jsonb.writeTo(obj, genericType). That doesnt seem to be the case, as JsonBindingProvider ignores the generic type parameter altogether. Perhaps this is the intented behavior, but some clarification would be nice. I am also curious as to why these 2 lines were used:
entityStream.write(jsonb.toJson(o).getBytes(AbstractMessageReaderWriterProvider.getCharset(mediaType))); entityStream.flush();

instead of using:
jsonb.toJson(o, genericType, entityStream);

I'm not going to hold my breath on this getting resolved any time soon, but if I am not mistaken, it looks like the last time any issue was assigned to anyone was September 21. Is @pavelbucek the only person available and or responsible for resolving Jersey issues?

Any updates?

Any word on the 2.27 milestone?

Thanks for adding the labels. That must have been time consuming because I noticed you guys have taken a 26 day break from any activity after that.
