Spring: return JSON from controller as ModelAndVIew?

Yes, you can return a MappingJacksonJsonView or assign it to a ModelAndView object using mav. SetView(new MappingJacksonJsonView()).

You can use org.codehaus.jackson.map. ObjectMapper class for writing json strings to output stream. Use the following code snippet in method of your controller: ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper(); mapper.

WriteValue(outputStream, model); outputStream.flush().

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
