Why not just either:

1) Create a DateStringConverter that converts all dates, if you can
get away with doing it globally

or

2) Create a YourClassStringConverter that serializes whatever class
that contains the Date?  You can use your own ObjectMapper easily.

Example:

----------------------------

package us.mobcasting.server.provider;

import java.util.Date;

import javax.ws.rs.ext.Provider;

import org.jboss.resteasy.spi.StringConverter;

/**
 * Allows us to create Dates from stringified long values (millis since epoch)
 *
 * @author Jeff Schnitzer <jeff@infohazard.org>
 */
@Provider
public class DateStringConverter implements StringConverter<Date>
{
       /** */
       @Override
       public Date fromString(String str)
       {
               return new Date(Long.parseLong(str));
       }

       /** */
       @Override
       public String toString(Date value)
       {
               return String.valueOf(value.getTime());

       }
}
