For Usergrid, we use Jersey (http://jersey.java.net/), the Sun implementation of JAX-RS, which makes use of Jackson (http://wiki.fasterxml.com/JacksonHome) for the JSON marshalling. I'd heartily recommend using those if you're going to roll your own REST implementation in Java.
If you're looking for a very high level REST API, you might want to look at Usergrid (http://github.com/usergrid/stack). We're abstracting away the underlying Cassandra representation to a pretty high degree, but it might be useful depending on what you're trying to do.
