I’m having problems getting Jackson to work in my Spring app.

I’m using

  • Spring MVC 3.1.2
  • Jackson 1.9.1 mapper asl

I’ve added the Jackson library to /WEB-INF/lib/ folder and added to my spring config file.

spring-config.xml

<!-- language: xml-->
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"

xsi:schemaLocation="

<mvc:annotation-driven />

<context:component-scan base-package="com.mason.server.controller"  />

<bean
   class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
    <property name="prefix">
        <value>/WEB-CONTENT/</value>
    </property>
    <property name="suffix">
        <value>.jsp</value>
    </property>
</bean>

<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
   <property name="basename" value="WEB-INF/messages/messages" />
</bean>

function in controller

<!-- language: java -->
@RequestMapping(value = "/get_json", method = RequestMethod.GET, headers = "Accept=*/*")
public @ResponseBody List<String> getTechList() {
    List<String> countryList = new ArrayList<String>();

    countryList.add("test");

    return countryList;
}

When i go to localhost:8888/get_json i get a error 406.

I have tried a solutions on the internet but none of them seem to work. Any help would be appreciated!

PS: I use Spring MVC in combination with Google App Engine and Spring Security.
