RESTFul或Ajax都是根據一個合約(固定的副檔名或Http請求頭的Accept)來獲得某種格式的資料響應.

不用訊息轉換器也可以實現.來看一看以下示例

    @RequestMapping(value="/favorite",method=RequestMethod.POST,produces = "application/json; charset=utf-8")
    @ResponseBody
    public String favoriteArticle(@RequestParam String hash){
        if(!aO.isOnline()) return
 
 "{}";

        TipMessage msg=null;
        if( articleService.addFavorite(hash, aO.getUid())){
            msg=new TipMessage("收藏成功",TipMessageLevel.ACC);
        }else{
            msg=new TipMessage("已經完成收藏");
        }
        //使用某個Json框架把物件轉換成String
        return msg.showJson();
    }

對於xml內容的響應不用訊息轉換器也可以實現.最簡單的是用JAXB,把一個把物件轉換成String.

如果這種需求在專案中大量出現,你可以把他們歸到一個WEB服務專案,使用Jersey框架或其它的WEB服務框架來實現,如果還至於把他們歸到一個專案.哪看看Spring MVC的訊息轉換器吧.

只貼出了與訊息轉換器有關的配置.配置中用到的jar,下面是maven

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>

        </dependency>
        <!-- http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.thoughtworks.xstream/xstream -->
        <!-- 不啟用xstream可以刪除 -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.thoughtworks.xstream</groupId>

net.labdemo.common.mapper.JsonMapper在此文的附件中可以下載到,用了fasterxml.Spring MVC控制器中的方法只需要加上:@ResponseBody註解,方法的返回值直接寫型別(實體,List<實體>或其它集合)即可

上面的配置是用副檔名來識別訊息轉換器.測試如下圖

如果希望用Http請求頭的Accept來識別訊息轉換器.contentNegotiationManager Bean作以下變更(圖1就是以下配置的截圖)

    <!-- REST中根據URL字尾自動判定Content-Type及相應的View -->
    <bean id="contentNegotiationManager" class="org.springframework.web.accept.ContentNegotiationManagerFactoryBean">
        <property name="ignoreAcceptHeader" value="false" />
        <property name="favorPathExtension" value="true" />
    </bean>

最後
1.
net.labdemo.entity包下的實體是需要加Jaxb註解的.關於註解的說明參考

3.
使用Jersey架設RESTFul服務
jersey服務端簡單小示例

5.
對於xml訊息轉換器還可以使用:XStreamMarshaller
示例:

            <bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.xml.MarshallingHttpMessageConverter">
                <constructor-arg>
                    <bean class="org.springframework.oxm.xstream.XStreamMarshaller">
                        <property name="streamDriver">
                            <bean class="com.thoughtworks.xstream.io.xml.StaxDriver" />
                        </property>
                        <property name="annotatedClasses">
                            <list>
                                <value>net.labdemo.common.entity.BaseEntity</value>
                            </list>
                        </property>
                    </bean>
                </constructor-arg>
                <property name="supportedMediaTypes" value="application/xml"></property>
            </bean>

該方案需要多一些依賴
