You can easily write a Restful webservice using Spring MVC. The controller classes can return XML/JSON as required. It is simply a case of configuring an appropriate ViewResolver in this case a ContentNegotiationViewResolver.

This is an excellent guide which will walk you through the basics of Spring MVC as a webservice.
