Is there a way to build Spring Web calls that consume and produce application/json formatted requests and responses respectively?
Maybe this isn’t Spring MVC, I’m not sure. I’m looking for Spring libraries that behave in a similar fashion to Jersey/JSON. The best case would be if there was an annotation that I could add to the Controller classes that would turn them into JSON service calls.
A tutorial showing how to build Spring Web Services with JSON would be great.
EDIT: I’m looking for an annotation based approach (similar to Jersey).
EDIT2: Like Jersey, I am looking for REST support (POST,GET,DELETE,PUT).
EDIT3: Most preferably, this will be the pom.xml entries and some information on using the spring-js with jackson Spring native version of things.
In case other ppl get here later:

was the most useful link for me. That finally made me understand the model (after less than a day of searching).
