How to return JSONObject in Spring without 406 error

I am learning to use Spring, using Spring-boot.

I want to return a JSONObject from a Controller but it always return 406.

I imported a org.json.JSONObject; to create a JSONObject.

Code : 

@RequestMapping(value = "/json", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
@ResponseBody   
public Object testJsonCall(){
    JSONObject reply = new JSONObject();
    reply.put("status","success");
    reply.put("foo", "bar");
    return reply;
}

Thanks for help.

Thanks everyone. Now I've found a solution.

Initially, I tried adding jackson-core and jackson-core-asl but it didn't make it to work. Wierdly, I've just added toString to the return, it is working !

@RequestMapping(value = "/json", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
@ResponseBody   
public Object testJsonCall(){
    JSONObject reply = new JSONObject();
    reply.put("status","success");
    reply.put("foo", "bar");
    return reply.toString();  //here I added toString()
}

You need to add following jars to pom.xml.

<dependency> <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId> <artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId> <version>2.4.1</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId> <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId> <version>2.4.1.1</version> </dependency>

<dependency> <groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId> <artifactId>jackson-core-asl</artifactId> <version>1.9.13</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId> <artifactId>jackson-mapper-asl</artifactId> <version>1.9.13</version> </dependency>
