JsonView does not work - json

Question

I use the annotation #JsonView, but it doesn't work, here is my code and the return data, would you please help me to look where I am wrong.
My spring jar shows the edition of "spring-web-3.2.8.RELEASE.jar", and I just add this bean,I do not know whether it is useful or not, and I just use #JsonView directly in my code
<bean id = "jacksonMessageConverter" class = "org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter">
</bean>
Here is the View class
public class View {
public interface Summary{};
}
This is the User entity class(with "set" "get" method omitted), it has several attribute which corresponding to the database, there is a "status" attribute needn't return in the json data.
public Class User{
#JsonView(View.Summary.class)
private Integer uid;
#JsonView(View.Summary.class)
private String first;
#JsonView(View.Summary.class)
private String last;
#JsonView(View.Summary.class)
private String email;
#JsonView(View.Summary.class)
private String password;
private Integer status;
}
I had the controller
#RequestMapping(value="/login", method=RequestMethod.POST)
#JsonView(View.Summary.class)
#ResponseBody
public Message login(String email, String password){
User user = userMapper.findUser(email,password);
Message message = new Message();
message.setUser(user);
return message;
}
}
and here is my Message class with the "set" "get" methods
public class Message {
private int box_hits;
private List<Box> boxes;
#JsonView(View.Summary.class)
private User user;
}
when I use the postman to test the url,it shows json data, obviously, it should not return with the attribute without #JsonView, what' wrong with my code?
{
"box_hits": 0,
"boxes": null,
"user": {
"uid": 1,
"first": "yuan",
"last": "kang",
"email": "123#qq.com",
"password": "123",
"status": 0
}
}

As described in the announcement blog post, this feature is only available as of Spring Framework 4.2. It won't work with Spring 3.2.8.
