I want only JSON response to be turned for any request that is made to http://localhost:8090/home/home/home2 for a servlet context as "home".
The configuration that I have set is to return default as "JSON" response if there are no accept headers. I have also tried to set the accept type to "application/json" , which is not working.
The solution over at Spring MVC + JSON = 406 Not Acceptable is with a different approach of Messageconverter, while I am trying through ContentNegotiationManagerFactoryBean class.
The web.xml is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">
