Spring 3 REST with XML gives "406 Not Acceptable"

I'm trying to implement REST开发者_Go百科 Remoting using Spring 3 but I can't get through "406 Not Acceptable" error... I try to remote 1 service that is returning an application/xml content. Everytime I send a request with "Accept=application/xml", I get 406 error. Everytime I send it with some different "Accept" header, I get 404 (and handleNoSuchRequestHandlingMethod exception). The service itself is invoked as I can see it in the logs. What I've also spotted is that during servlet initialisation I get the following error, although I'm not sure if it's a problem:

Did not find any ViewResolvers to delegate to; please configure them using the 'viewResolvers' property on the ContentNegotiatingViewResolver

I've tried many different configurations but without success. Maybe you can spot some error in my implementation?

Controller

@Controller
@RequestMapping( { "extService" })
public class ExtServiceController {

    protected final static Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(ExtServiceController.class);

    @Autowired
    private UserManagementService userManagementService;    

    // @RequestMapping(value = "/experts", method = RequestMethod.GET, headers = { "Accept=*/*" })
    // @RequestMapping(value = "experts", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    @RequestMapping(value = "experts", method = RequestMethod.GET, headers = { "Accept=application/xml, text/xml" })
    public @ResponseBody
    ExpertDto getExperts() {            
              return new ExpertDto();
    }
}

Test

DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();

String expertsUrl = "http://localhost:8080/extService/experts";

HttpGet getRequest = new HttpGet(expertsUrl);
getRequest.setHeader(new BasicHeader("Accept", "application/xml"));
// getRequest.setHeader(new BasicHeader("Accept", "text/html"));
// getRequest.setHeader(new BasicHeader("Accept", "*/*"));

HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(getRequest);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
InputStream content = entity.getContent();

Consider using the following approach instead of @ResponseBody

@RequestMapping(value = "experts", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public @ResponseBody
void getExperts(org.springframework.ui.Model model) {            
      model.addAttribute(new ExpertDto());
}

The "Did not find any ViewResolvers to delegate to..." is just a warning, you can ignore it.

Modify your @RequestMapping annotation as

@RequestMapping(value = "experts", method = RequestMethod.GET, headers = { "Accept=application/xml" })
