Answer 1

Maybe you should define what the method should produce. you can do that by setting produce attribute for the RequestMapping annotation.

Example: @RequestMapping(value="address/{street}/{zip}", method=RequestMethod.GET, produces = { MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE })

Answer 2

尝试将标题属性值更改为

"Accept=application/json"
