Spring MVC 4 response body serialization works with JSON but not with XML -

i working on setting rest api spring 4. http message converters present default json & xml. try setup 2 end-points, 1 returning json & xml. json object seems returned expected when try hit xml, end 406 exception,

the resource identified request capable of generating responses characteristics not acceptable according request "accept" headers.

i have included maven dependencies both json & xml. below snippet of pom.xml,

<dependency>     <groupid>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupid>      <artifactid>jackson-databind</artifactid>     <version>${jackson.version}</version> </dependency>   <dependency>     <groupid>javax.xml.bind</groupid>      <artifactid>jaxb-api</artifactid>      <version>${jaxb-api.version}</version>  </dependency> 

below controller code,

@restcontroller @requestmapping(value="/employee") public class hellocontroller {  @requestmapping(method=requestmethod.get , produces="application/json",value="/hello.json") public list<employee> getemployeejson(){      employee emp = new employee();     emp.setid(1);     emp.setname("x");      employee emp1 = new employee();     emp1.setid(2);     emp1.setname("y");      list<employee> res = new arraylist<employee>();     res.add(emp);     res.add(emp1);      return res; }  @requestmapping(method=requestmethod.get , produces="application/xml",value="/hello.xml") public list<employee> getemployeexml(){      employee emp = new employee();     emp.setid(1);     emp.setname("x");      employee emp1 = new employee();     emp1.setid(2);     emp1.setname("y");      list<employee> res = new arraylist<employee>();     res.add(emp);     res.add(emp1);      return res; }  } 

do share thoughts on missing here

according documentation should add jackson-dataformat-xml dependency enable response body xml serialization. in case using maven add:

<dependency>     <groupid>com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat</groupid>     <artifactid>jackson-dataformat-xml</artifactid> </dependency>
