Spring 4 and Rest WS integration

I have been doing a poc on Spring4 and RestWS integration. I am new to both with barely a weeks exposure. I am following instructions from blogs. I understand that in Spring 4 and restWS setup jackson-core/anotation/databind 2 is to be used for correct message converstion of JSON <-> Java object to happen. Also org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter is to be used for message conversion.
I satisfied all these requirements. However when I try to start application, I get bean create exception.

It seems that something is wrong with MappingJacksonJsonView class.
Could following from factory file be the cause of trouble ?
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.json.MappingJacksonJsonView">
<property name="contentType" value="text/plain"/>
</bean>
Am I supposed to replace this class as well?
I will help assistance to fix this.
Thanks,
Suvojit

You are currently using the MappingJacksonJsonView which is designed to work with Jackson1 .
You mention the following:
I am not using Jackson 1 api's. jars in my lib are, jackson-core-2.0.2, jackson-annotation-2.3.0, jackson-bindings 2.3.0.
Which means you have Jackson2 on your classpath. Jackson1 and Jackson2 aren't compatible (different packages, different classes etc.).
You have 2 possible solutions
Don't use Jackson2 and switch your dependencies to Jackson1
Replace the MappingJacksonJsonView with the MappingJackson2JsonView

For Spring4 Rest + Json POC The following App Context is enough
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd">
<context:component-scan base-package="org.name.controller" />
<!-- Enables the Spring MVC #Controller programming model -->
<mvc:annotation-driven />
<mvc:resources location="/statics/" mapping="/statics/**"/>
<bean
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/views/" />
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
</bean>
</beans>
Make sure you have dependency for Jackson (e.g. in maven)
<!-- jackson so spring mvc will handle json responses out of the box -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
<version>2.3.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
<version>2.3.0</version>
</dependency>
You do not specifically need to define MappingJackson2JsonView; MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter/MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter will be created automatically when jackson is the the class path (the default is only when ContentType/Accept are application/json).
Jackson1 is deprecated, but still supported if from any reason you are limited to Jackson1
See Spring 4 docs

Spring CRUD application with Maven, Error in creating bean [duplicate]

This is my first question. I am new to Spring-MVC and Jpa, I am having this trouble and I couldn't figure it out my self.I tried searching on Google but didn't find something related to this error:
I have stored all my configuration files under src/main/resources/META-INF and I am using Maven with STS.

I think you have a configuration failure within your customerDaoImpl
I guess you have anntoated the field appserverPU with #Autowire or #Inject.
But if it is an Entity Manager, you need to annotate it with #PersistenceContext instead.

Solved.....
I included my application-context.xml into my servlet-context.xml.
My application-context.xml contains
thus my error of not finding the persistence-unit was eliminated, another issue was with the mysql driver. Initially I didn't added the driver in my pom.xml, which I added later on. This solved my issue. If you carefully take a look at it was saying that "appserverPU" that is the persistence-unit was not declared so i just guessed that somehow its not getting to that persistence.xml file.
It was just a guess but worked. :D :D :D :D :D :D

It seems to be an incompatible version problem.
Please check all spring framework artifacts' version.

For anyone still having this issue with Web Flow and Spring 4.0, you need to build with a snapshot build of Web Flow i.e 2.4.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT.
See SWF-1600 and change details on Github

Spring 4.2.4 Release works well with 2.4.2 Release of webflow and dependency of tiles 2.2.2 (tiles-extras, tiles-jsp, tiles-servlet)

Its an Out of Memory Error - your JVM has run out of heap space initializing the webapp. Generally Spring takes care of cyclical references but pasting your bean config XML would help as well - like which scopes you're using, autowiring vs. not, etc.
You might want to increase the heap size using -Xmx VM parameter.

Looks like you have a cyclical reference that just kept on trying to wire up until it exhausted your JVM, you'll need to post your spring file for more help
