MIME Types for empty body

Hi cxf,

- can/should empty requests have a @Consumes annotation?

- can/should empty responses have a @Produces annotation?

Thanks!

Only needed if a single method is meant to handle empty and no-empty 
payloads, otherwise it is not needed.
If it is the case then one possible issue is that JAX-RS 1.1 requires 
400 be returned when JAXB is involved and the payload is empty.

Same as with @Consumes, only if the single method can return either 
empty or non-empty payloads. CXF has been fixed to return no 
Contnet-Type at all in the former case...
