      httpHeaders - the mutable HTTP headers associated with HTTP entity.
      propertiesDelegate - request-scoped properties delegate.
      entityStream - the InputStream of the HTTP entity. The stream is not closed after reading the entity.

      translateNce - if true, the NoContentException thrown by a selected message body reader will be translated into a BadRequestException as required by JAX-RS specification on the server side.
      Returns:
      the entity that was read from the entityStream.

      Writers a type to the entityStream using interceptors. If the parameter intercept is true then writer interceptors are executed before calling the message body writer.
