Spring Rest and Jsonp

I am trying to get my Spring rest controller to return jsonp but I am having no joy

The exact same code works ok if I want to return json but I have a requirement to return jsonp I have added in a converter I found source code for online for performing the jsonp conversion

I am using Spring version 4.1.1.RELEASE and Java 7

Any help is greatly appreciated

Here is the code in question

Controller Method In Question

@ResponseBody
public Object getSources(@PathVariable(value = API_KEY) String apiKey, 
        @RequestParam(value = "searchTerm", required = true) String searchTerm,
        @RequestParam(value = "callBack", required = false) String callBack) {
    LOG.info("Entered getSources - searchTerm:{}, callBack:{} ", searchTerm, callBack);

    List<SearchVO> searchVOList = myServices.findSources(searchTerm);

    if (CollectionUtils.isEmpty(searchVOList)) {
        LOG.error("No results exist for the searchterm of {}", searchTerm);
        return searchVOList;
    }         

    LOG.debug("{} result(s) exist for the searchterm of {}", searchVOList.size(), searchTerm);        

    LOG.info("Exiting getSources");
    return searchVOList;
}

**Jquery Ajax Code **

$.ajax({
                type: "GET",
                url: "http://localhost:8080/my-web/rest/sources,
                data: {
                    "searchTerm": request.term
                },
                //contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                //dataType: "json",
                contentType: "application/javascript",
                dataType: "jsonp",
                 success: function(data) {
                    alert("success");
                },
                error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                    alert("Failure");
                }
            });

As stated on the spring.io blog regarding the Spring 4.1 release:

JSONP is now supported with Jackson. For response body methods declare an @ControllerAdvice as shown below. For View-based rendering simply configure the JSONP query parameter name(s) on MappingJackson2JsonView.

@ControllerAdvice
private static class JsonpAdvice extends AbstractJsonpResponseBodyAdvice {

    public JsonpAdvice() {
        super("callback");
    }

}

[...] In 4.1 an @ControllerAdvice can also implement ResponseBodyAdvice in which case it will be called after the controller method returns but before the response is written and therefore committed. This has a number of useful applications with @JsonView the JSONP already serving as two examples built on it.

Javadoc taken from MappingJackson2JsonView:

Set JSONP request parameter names. Each time a request has one of those parameters, the resulting JSON will be wrapped into a function named as specified by the JSONP request parameter value. The parameter names configured by default are "jsonp" and "callback".

You don't need to implement this stuff by yourself. Just reuse the bits from the Spring Framework.

Spring Boot example

Following simple Spring Boot application demonstrates use of build in JSONP support in Spring MVC 4.1. Example requires at least Spring Boot 1.2.0.RC1.

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonAutoDetect;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.HttpMessageConverters;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageConverter;
import org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ControllerAdvice;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.AbstractJsonpResponseBodyAdvice;

import java.util.Collections;

import static com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonAutoDetect.Visibility.ANY;
import static org.springframework.http.MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE;

@RestController
@SpringBootApplication
class Application {

    @JsonAutoDetect(fieldVisibility = ANY)
    static class MyBean {
        String attr = "demo";
    }

    @ControllerAdvice
    static class JsonpAdvice extends AbstractJsonpResponseBodyAdvice {
        public JsonpAdvice() {
            super("callback");
        }
    }

    @Bean
    public HttpMessageConverters customConverters() {
        return new HttpMessageConverters(false, Collections.<HttpMessageConverter<?> >singleton(new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter()));
    }

    @RequestMapping
    MyBean demo() {
        return new MyBean();
    }

    @RequestMapping(produces = APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
    String demo2() {
        return "demo2";
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }
}

URL http://localhost:8080/demo?callback=test converts a POJO into a JSONP response:

test({"attr":"demo"});

URL http://localhost:8080/demo2?callback=test converts a String into a JSONP response:

test("demo2");
