解决java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No converter found for return value of type: class java.util

         Controller方法中return 数据时候，适用@ResponseBody注解进行返回List<对象>的json数据时出现了：nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No converter found for return value of type: class java.util.ArrayList错误，就细细分析了下，而后解决了该问题，先拿来备份和分享！ 

首先，要记得导入jackson的几个包 
jackson-databind-2.7.4.jar 
jackson-annotations-2.7.4.jar 
jackson-core-2.7.4.jar

Maven版如下：

 <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.fasterxml.jackson.core/jackson-annotations -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
            <artifactId>jackson-annotations</artifactId>
            <version>2.9.8</version>
        </dependency>
  <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.fasterxml.jackson.core/jackson-core -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
            <artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
            <version>2.9.8</version>
        </dependency>
 <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.fasterxml.jackson.core/jackson-databind -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
            <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
            <version>2.9.8</version>
        </dependency>

第一种解决方法：

1.原因：这是因为springmvc默认是没有对象转换成json的转换器的，需要手动添加jackson依赖。

2.解决步骤：

　手动添加jackson依赖到pom.xml文件中

 

<properties>
    <jackson.version>2.5.4</jackson.version>
  </properties> 

  <dependency>
      <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
      <artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
      <version>${jackson.version}</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
      <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
      <version>${jackson.version}</version>
    </dependency>

如果还是没有解决，则进行以下步骤

在springmvc配置文件中进行如下配置

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

第二种解决方法

第三种解决方法

从错误信息的原因来看，是后台返回的json数据与ajax的dataType:”json” 不匹配，但是@responseBody注解会自动将返回数据封装成json格式，猜想是配置的问题，还有json包版本冲突

于是重新配置了一下applicationContext.xml里面的配置：
 

<mvc:annotation-driven  />
<!-- 启动Spring MVC的注解功能，完成请求和注解POJO的映射 -->
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter">
    <property name="messageConverters">
        <list>
            <!--json转换器-->
            <ref bean="mappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter" />
        </list>
    </property>
</bean>
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.RequestMappingHandlerAdapter">  
    <property name="messageConverters">  
        <list>  
               <ref bean="mappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter" />  
        </list>  
    </property>  
</bean>  

<bean id="mappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter"  
    class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter">  
     <property name = "supportedMediaTypes">  
          <list>  
            <bean class="org.springframework.http.MediaType">  
             <constructor-arg index="0" value="text"/>  
             <constructor-arg index="1" value="plain"/>  
             <constructor-arg index="2" value="UTF-8"/>  
            </bean>  
            <bean class="org.springframework.http.MediaType">  
             <constructor-arg index="0" value="*"/>  
             <constructor-arg index="1" value="*"/>  
             <constructor-arg index="2" value="UTF-8"/>  
            </bean>  
            <bean class="org.springframework.http.MediaType">  
             <constructor-arg index="0" value="text"/>  
             <constructor-arg index="1" value="*"/>  
             <constructor-arg index="2" value="UTF-8"/>  
            </bean>  
             <bean class="org.springframework.http.MediaType">  
             <constructor-arg index="0" value="application"/>  
             <constructor-arg index="1" value="json"/>  
             <constructor-arg index="2" value="UTF-8"/>  
            </bean>  
          </list>  
    </property>  
</bean>
