controller.js

@Controller
public class HelloController{

   @RequestMapping(value = "/hel", method = RequestMethod.GET ,consumes = "application/json" )
   public HashMap printHello(ModelMap model) {
       HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
       map.put("message", "Hello Spring MVC !");
      return map;
   }

   @GET
   @Path("/json/employees/")
   @Produces("application/json")
   public HashMap listEmployeesJSON(){
       HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
       map.put("message", "Hello Spring MVC !");
       return map;
   }

}

when I run my project like that http://localhost:8080/Testspting/hel it gives "Hello Spring MVC !" .it is fine

But when run like that http://localhost:8080/Testspting/json/employees server log say No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/Testspting/json/employees] in DispatcherServlet with name 'HelloWeb'

my expected output will be when i run http://localhost:8080/Testspting/json/employees {"message", "Hello Spring MVC !"}

Answer 1

You can use @ResponseBody annotation along with @RequestMapping annotation.

Have a look at this example. http://www.mkyong.com/spring-mvc/spring-3-mvc-and-json-example/

For example

@RequestMapping(value = "/json/employees/{pathVariableIfAny}", method = { RequestMethod.GET })
public @ResponseBody
HashMap listEmployeesJSON(@PathVariable("pathVariableIfAny") int pathVariable) {
    HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
    map.put("message", "Hello Spring MVC !");
    return map;
}

Answer 2

 @Controller
 @RequestMapping(value = "/Testspting")
 public class HelloController{
 @GET
 @Path("/json/employees/")
 @Produces("application/json")
 public HashMap listEmployeesJSON(){
           HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
           map.put("message", "Hello Spring MVC !");
           return map;
       }
  }

Try adding @RequestMapping annotation after @controller.
