I'm having troubles with returning a JSONObject in Java Spring. I've been googling fanaticly but haven't found a solution yet.
I'm using Jackson's fasterxml but I still can't get my API to respond in JSON. I'll include the files which I think are necessary to help.
First off I'll show my pom.xml, in which I think the error origins. There might be a collision between Jackson and another dependency, but I can't seem to figure out which one.

The controller on which the error occurs goes as following. You should be looking at testMeth2()
@RestController
@RequestMapping(path="/test")
@EnableWebMvc
public class TestController {
@Autowired
private CourseRecommendation courseRecommendation;
@Autowired
private EmployeesRepository employeesRepository;
Employees emp;
@RequestMapping(value = "/check/1", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public @ResponseBody
Employees testMeth1() {
emp = employeesRepository.findById(1);
emp.setSex("F");
employeesRepository.save(emp);
return emp;
};
@RequestMapping(value = "/check/2", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public @ResponseBody
JSONObject testMeth2() {
return new JSONObject();
}
}
I will include the stacktrace aswell on pastebin:
This is in a project I'm doing for an internship and every bit help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers.
