You can do this using Spring's @RequestBody annotation, e.g.

@ResponseBody
public Map<String, Object> handleJsonPost(@RequestBody Map<String, Object> requestJson) {
   ...
   return responseJson;
}

This will also send the return value back as JSON.

You'll also need to include the Jackson library in your application's classpath, and add

<mvc:annotation-driven/>

to your context (see docs)
