Spring 4 MVC based project with xml based configuration, want to use Jackson binding to return Json for some of the controller mappings (and it's going to Google App Engine). Did a lot of investigating, many different solution but they doing, each one, a bit different approach then the one we have. No yet working solution.
web.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<web-app version="3.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd">

My example controller is pretty slim:
@Controller
@RequestMapping("/api/")
public class Controller {
@RequestMapping(value = "/name", method = RequestMethod.GET)
@ResponseBody
public Name nameexample(WebRequest request, Model model) {
final Name name = new Name("name", "class", "package");
return name;
}
}
The class Name is a simple POJO with getters/setters, implements Serializable.
pom.xml got all the Jackson dependencies: jackson-databind, jackson-core, jackson-annotations, version 2.6.0. Spring used: 4.2.0.RELEASE
The error I receive when trying to GET the url: org.springframework.web.HttpMediaTypeNotAcceptableException: Could not find acceptable representation
