You will have to have jackson in your Classpath for Spring to render the response as json.

Spring 3.0 making JSON response using jackson message converter

  • @CetinImre if you use Firefox it opens is as a downloadable file however Chromium doesn't. Plugin is here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/jsonview/ – kamaci Nov 30 '11 at 19:20

In addition you also need to make sure that you have the following line in your Spring XML:

<context:annotation-config />

Otherwise jackson will not be enabled.

As the result, all methods which are mapped by @ResponseBody and returns object will be serialized and returned as response using application/json content type.
