How to make Spring MVC return CSV as convenient as return JSON

I know Spring MVC could return a model in format of Json easily; however, I have tried quite different approaches to return a model in CSV format (via Jackson), but could not make it successfully. What should I do? I enclose my model code, controller code, and gradle.build as following: Thanks a lot! Model: ``` @JsonPropertyOrder({ "staffName", "name" }) public class Greeter { String name; String staffName[]; public String getName() { return name; } public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; } public String[] getStaffName() { return staffName; } public void setStaffName(String[] staffName) { this.staffName = staffName; } } ``` Controller: ``` @Controller public class GreetingController { @RequestMapping(value = "/greeter/json", method = RequestMethod.GET) public @ResponseBody Greeter getGreeterInJSON() { Greeter greeter = new Greeter(); greeter.setName("default"); greeter.setStaffName(new String[] { "ye", "lichi" }); return greeter; } @RequestMapping(value = "/greeter/csv", method = RequestMethod.GET, consumes = "text/csv") public @ResponseBody Greeter getGreeterInCSV(HttpServletResponse response) { Greeter greeter = new Greeter(); greeter.setName("default"); greeter.setStaffName(new String[] { "ye", "lichi" }); CsvMapper mapper = new CsvMapper(); CsvSchema schema = mapper.schemaFor(Greeter.class); ObjectWriter writer = mapper.writer(schema.withLineSeparator("\n")); File greeterCSV = new File("greeterCSV.csv"); try { writer.writeValue(greeterCSV, greeter); } catch (JsonGenerationException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (JsonMappingException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return greeter; } } ``` build.gradle dependencies: ``` dependencies { compile group: 'commons-collections', name: 'commons-collections', version: '3.2' compile ('org.springframework:spring-context:4.0.0.RELEASE') compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:0.5.0.M6") compile("org.thymeleaf:thymeleaf-spring3:2.0.17") // compile "org.codehaus.jackson:jackson-mapper-asl:1.9.13" compile 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:2.3.0' compile 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core:2.3.0' compile 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-annotations:2.3.0' compile 'com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat:jackson-dataformat-csv:2.3.0' testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.+' testCompile "org.mockito:mockito-all:1.9.5" } ``` Edit: Tomcat error: HTTP Status 415 - type Status report message description The server refused this request because the request entity is in a format not supported by the requested resource for the requested method.
