Spring MVC-具有@ResponseBody批注的XML响应（Spring + XML）

Question

I need to send xml reponse from my application to incoming HTTP request. For this i reffered THIS LINK . This example returns the xml

<coffee>
   <name>arabica</name>
   <quantity>10<quantity>
</coffee>

But i need response like

<coffee>arabica</coffee> 

Here there is no specific root element. please suggest how to i get this response by modifying java object.

Early response will be really helpful

i Modified the code as below but i am not getting output expected

@XmlRootElement(name = "coffee")
public class Coffee
{
  String coffee;

  public String getCoffee()
  {
   return coffee;
  }

  @XmlElement
  public void setCoffee(String coffee)
  {
    this.coffee = coffee;
  }
}

For this code i am getting output like below

<coffee><coffee>arabica</coffee></coffee>

Answer 1

This is impossible. A xml-node can either contain (1)a value or (2)other xml-nodes, a jackson class must contain other xml-nodes.

But you can return a string instead of a instance of Coffee .

Try to return a String directly.

return "<coffee>"+coffee+"</coffee>";
