              </dependency>

Is my dependency tree.

@XmlRootElement
public class ResponseUser {
    private String contact_id;
    private String user_key;

    public String getContact_id() {
        return contact_id;
    }

    public void setContact_id(String contact_id) {
        this.contact_id = contact_id;
    }

    public String getUser_key() {
        return user_key;
    }

    public void setUser_key(String user_key) {
        this.user_key = user_key;
    }

    public String toString()
    {
      return "Contact_id"+":"+this.contact_id +","+"User_key"+":"+this.user_key;
    }

}

Is my pojo class.

@RequestMapping(value="/user",method=RequestMethod.POST,produces="application/json")
    public  @ResponseBody ResponseUser getUser(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response)
    {
       ResponseUser user=new ResponseUser();
       user.setContact_id("sjlfjsld");
       user.setUser_key("skdjflsjdfl");
       System.out.println(user);
       return user;
    }

Is my controller.

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
    xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"

    <context:component-scan base-package="org.rwind.router" />

    <bean

    </bean>
        <context:annotation-config />

  <mvc:message-converters>
    <bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter"/>
  </mvc:message-converters>

</beans>

Is my Dispactcher-servlet.xml

A couple of things.

  1. You are mixing versions of hibernate
  2. You have Jackson 1 (codehaus) as a dependency but explicitly configure Jackson 2
  3. You are loading all of your beans twice.
  4. Configuration improvements

Mixing Hibernate Versions

<dependency>
     <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
     <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
     <version>3.6.0.CR1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
    <version>4.3.1.Final</version>
</dependency>

In your dependency list you are mixing versions 3.6.0.CR1 (which isn't even a final release) and 4.3.1.Final. mixing jars of a framework is never a wise thing to do. You should be able to remove the dependency for hibernate-core as the hibernate-entitymanager has a dependency on it. 

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
    <version>4.3.1.Final</version>
</dependency>

Jackson1 as a dependency

  <dependency>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
        <artifactId>jackson-mapper-asl</artifactId>
        <version>1.8.5</version>
        <scope>compile</scope>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
        <artifactId>jackson-core-asl</artifactId>
        <version>1.8.5</version>
        <scope>compile</scope>
  </dependency>

The dependencies you have in your dependency list are for Jackson 1, however you explicitly configure the MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter which uses Jackson 2 not Jackson 1. Fix your dependencies for this

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.5</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.5</version>
</dependency>

You can also remove the explicit configuration of the MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter as that will be automatically added when you are using <mvc:annotation-driven />, this will save you a couple of lines of configuration.

<mvc:annotation-driven />

Loading beans twice

In your web.xml you have defined a DispatcherServlet named api which will, by default, will load the /WEB-INF/api-servlet.xml. You are again loading this configuration with the ContextLoaderListener. This duplicates all your beans and consumes additional resources. For now you can remove the ContextLoaderListener.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<web-app
    version="3.0"
    xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd">

    <display-name>Softforge-api</display-name>

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>api</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>api</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

</web-app>

Configuration enhancements

It is recommended to use the version less XSD files instead of the versioned ones. So use spring-beans.xsd instead of spring-beans-3.0.xsd, this will ensure you are always using the most recent available version.

<context:annotation-config /> is already implied by <context:component-scan /> you can remove it.

The MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter is automatically configured by <mvc:annotation-driven /> when it detects Jackson2 on the classpath, you can remove the explicit configuration.

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
    xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc" 
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc.xsd">

    <context:component-scan base-package="org.rwind.router" />
    <mvc:annotation-driven />

    <bean
        class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
        <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/Views/" />
        <property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
    </bean>

</beans>
