I am having an issue trying when trying to return HTML to my Spring MVC controller.
It looks like this:
@RequestMapping(value = QUESTION_GROUP_CREATE_URL, method = RequestMethod.POST)
public
@ResponseBody
String createQuestionGroup(@RequestBody JsonQuestionGroup questionGroup, HttpServletResponse response) {
// questionGroup - this comes OK.
response.setContentType("text/html");
response.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
return "<div></div>";
}
My Spring config:
<bean id="contentNegotiationManager" class="org.springframework.web.accept.ContentNegotiationManagerFactoryBean">
<property name="favorPathExtension" value="false"/>
<property name="favorParameter" value="true"/>
<property name="mediaTypes">
<value>
json=application/json
xml=application/xml
html=application/html
</value>
</property>
</bean>
I am seeing firebug that response is coming like: {"String":"<div></div>"}
how can I tell this method to send me plain HTML as the response?
