Error 406: JSON response could not be returned in spring 3.x

Question

I'm trying to output Json response using spring mvc and hibernate. When i am trying to hit the url as per my controller design. I'm getting this error

HTTP Status 406 The resource identified by this request is only capable of generating responses with characteristics not acceptable according to the request "accept" headers ().

I have added the jackson-mapper-asl in my pom.xml.

This is my Controller.

@Controller
@RequestMapping(value="/book")
public class BookController {

@Autowired
BookService bookService;

@Autowired
BookDao bookDao;

static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(BookController.class);

@RequestMapping(value="/add", method = RequestMethod.POST,headers="Accept=*/*")
public @ResponseBody
Status addBook(@RequestBody Book book){
    try{
        bookService.addBook(book);
        return new Status(1,"book added successfully");
    }catch(Exception e){
        return new Status(0, e.toString());
    }
}


@RequestMapping(value="/{bookId}",method = RequestMethod.GET,headers="Accept=*/*")
public @ResponseBody
Book getBook(@PathVariable("bookId")Integer bookId){
    Book book = null;
    try{
        book = bookService.getBookById(bookId);
    }catch(Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    System.out.println("book returned");
    System.out.println(book);
    return book;
}

@RequestMapping(value="/list",method=RequestMethod.GET,headers="Accept=*/*")
public @ResponseBody
List<Book> getBookList(){
    List<Book> bookList = null;
    try{
        bookList = bookService.getBookList();
    }catch(Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    System.out.println("bookList returned");
    System.out.println(bookList);
    return bookList;
}

@RequestMapping(value = "/delete/{bookId}", method = RequestMethod.GET,headers="Accept=*/*")
public @ResponseBody
Status deleteEmployee(@PathVariable("bookId") long bookId) {

    try {
        bookService.deleteBook(bookId);;
        return new Status(1, "Employee deleted Successfully !");
    } catch (Exception e) {
        return new Status(0, e.toString());
    }

}

Now when i'm trying to hit the url it is giving the error "HTTP status 406". The resource identified by this request is only capable of generating responses with characteristics not acceptable according to the request "accept" headers ().

The Hibernate queries are running properly in the controller after hitting the url. It's only that I'm not getting the JSON response.

My POJO class(Book.java)

@Entity
@Table(name="book")
@JsonIgnoreProperties({"hibernateLazyInitializer","handler"})
public class Book implements Serializable{

@Id
@Column(name="bookId")
@GeneratedValue
private Integer bookId;

@Column(name="bookName")
private String bookName;

@OneToMany(cascade=CascadeType.ALL,fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
@JoinTable(
        name="BookChapter",
        joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name="BOOK_ID"),
        inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn(name="CHAPTER_ID")
)
public Set<Chapter> chapter;

public Integer getBookId() {
    return bookId;
}

public void setBookId(Integer bookId) {
    this.bookId = bookId;
}

public String getBookName() {
    return bookName;
}

public void setBookName(String bookName) {
    this.bookName = bookName;
}

public Set<Chapter> getChapter() {
    return chapter;
}

public void setChapter(Set<Chapter> chapter) {
    this.chapter = chapter;
}

}
