Spring 3.1.1 and json getting error 406 - json

Question

I have written a simple rest based controller using #responseBody which I expect to return a JSON.
Somehow I am not able to get it work as expected.
when I run the url "http://localhost:8080/my-webapp/amazon/rips" ..it throws back below error
HTTP Status 406 -JBWEB000126: The resource identified by this request is only capable of generating responses with characteristics not acceptable according to the request 'Accept' headers.
can someone please lend a helping hand.
Mycontroller is below:
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/amazon")
public class JsonController {
#RequestMapping(value="/{name}", method = RequestMethod.GET,produces = "application/json")
public #ResponseBody
Book getShopInJSON(#PathVariable String name) {
Book book = new Book();
book.setName(name);
book.setAvailablity(false);
return book;
}
Book class is below:
public class Book {
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public boolean isAvailablity() {
return availablity;
}
public void setAvailablity(boolean availablity) {
this.availablity = availablity;
}
private String name ;
private boolean availablity;
}
displatcher servlet is as below:

Answer 1

with the help from #CodeChimp I realized that request that I was sending was not having proper accept headers.
I used Chromes "Advanced Rest client" and added headers with key ="accept" and value ="application/json",I was able to get proper response.
update
I found that <mvc:annotation-driven /> was not added in the dispatcher servlet which configures the support for HTTP message conversion with #RequestBody/#ResponseBody.Once I added this piece of info there was no need to use any advanced Rest client.
