Spring 4 RestController & Returning JSON - json

Question

I have a simple controller, which should return JSON, but is failing to do so. The JSON library is Jackson, configured as a maven dependency. When I make a request using postman, against this url path, I am receiving a 404 error. When I attempt to inspect the JSON Returned, I see "Malformed JSON: Unexpected '<'".
Could someone suggest what it is I am missing / failing to understand? Thank you
#RestController
#RequestMapping("/World/")
public class RestfulController {
#RequestMapping(value = "/Country/", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces="application/json")
public ResponseEntity<Country> findAllCountrys(){
Country c = new Country(1, "Ethiopia", "Addis Abba", "94 Million");
return new ResponseEntity<Country>(c, HttpStatus.OK);
}
}

You should try this:
#RestController
#RequestMapping("/World")
public class RestfulController {
#RequestMapping(value = "/Country", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public Country findAllCountrys(){
Country c = new Country(1, "Ethiopia", "Addis Abba", "94 Million");
return c;
}
}
The request url: http://yourhost/World/Country
This should return a json of Country
