Spring 3 JSON with MVC
java, json, spring, web-services
Solution
In case other ppl get here later: http://blog.springsource.com/2010/01/25/ajax-simplifications-in-spring-3-0/ was the most useful link for me. That finally made me understand the model (after less than a day of searching).
Problem
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.
