mvc-ajax json conversion not working with mvc:annotation-driven in Glassfish

The error thrown is:

If the MVC Controller method uses @ResponseBody, handles conversion of the object to a JSON string, and returns that, would that work as a response to a jQuery getJSON call?

post your Spring version, your mvc configuration, your controller, and jsp. Use [code ] [ /code] tags to post your code / stacktraces / configuration.
