I was using groovy springboot and got this error       Adding getter setter is enough if we are using below dependency    implementation  org springframework boot spring-boot-starter-web    As Jackson core classes come with it

I was facing same issue  I did not put  ResponseBody since I was using  RestController  But still I was getting error because I did not put the getter setter method for the Company class  So after putting the getter setter my problem was resolved

Considering  Arpit answer  for me it worked only when I add two jackson dependencies    lt dependency gt       lt groupId gt com fasterxml jackson core lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt jackson-core lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 2 4 3 lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt   lt dependency gt       lt groupId gt com fasterxml jackson core lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt jackson-databind lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 2 4 3 lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt    and configured  of cause  web xml  lt mvc annotation-driven  gt    Original answer that helped me is here  https   stackoverflow com a 33896080 3014866

You also need to be sure that returned bean is not empty  and can be serialized by Jackson   In my particular case I tried to return an instance of an object without getters and setters and without any jackson annotation and with fields equals to null  I got following message   com fasterxml jackson databind JsonMappingException      No serializer found for class com foo bar Baz and no properties discovered to create BeanSerializer  to avoid exception  disable SerializationFeature FAIL ON EMPTY BEANS
