How to use quickxml serialization of Jackson JSON in Spring 4

Question

Why does my Spring controller not return the media type application/jsonwhen I call it with the following curl:

curl -v -i -H "Accept: application/json" localhost:8080/properties-ws/prop/2322

I have read all the other questions and answers on this question, and none of them affect my specific problem.

I am using Spring 4 and have a simple controller and pom.

Controller method

@RequestMapping(value="/prop/{character}", 
    method=RequestMethod.GET,
    produces={MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE})
public @ResponseBody CharData getData(@PathVariable(value="character") int codePoint) {
    CharData chData = null;
    chData = CharPropertiesService.getProperties(codePoint);
    return chData;      
}

Jackson Dependent POM File

I have included jackson-databind version 2.3.3 quickxml artifact version

Here is the pom:

The controller returns an HTTP 406 response with the message:

The resource identified by this request is able to generate responses with characteristics that are not valid in accordance with the headers of the accept request.

Any ideas on where I am not setting this up correctly?
