Instead of  return new ResponseEntity lt JSONObject gt  entities  HttpStatus OK     try  return new ResponseEntity lt List lt JSONObject gt  gt  entities  HttpStatus OK

Personally  I prefer changing the method signature to   public ResponseEntity lt   gt    This gives the advantage of possibly returning an error message as single item for services which  when ok  return a list of items    When returning I don t use any type  which is unused in this case anyway    return new ResponseEntity lt  gt  entities  HttpStatus OK

Now I return Object  I don t know better solution  but it works    RequestMapping value     method RequestMethod GET  produces MediaType APPLICATION JSON VALUE  public  ResponseBody ResponseEntity lt Object gt  getAll         List lt Entity gt  entityList   entityManager findAll         List lt JSONObject gt  entities   new ArrayList lt JSONObject gt         for  Entity n   entityList            JSONObject Entity   new JSONObject            entity put  id   n getId             entity put  address   n getAddress             entities add entity             return new ResponseEntity lt Object gt  entities  HttpStatus OK

I have no idea why the other answers didn t work for me  error 500  but this works   GetMapping     public String getAll         List lt Entity gt  entityList   entityManager findAll        List lt JSONObject gt  entities   new ArrayList lt JSONObject gt         for  Entity n   entityList            JSONObject Entity   new JSONObject            entity put  id   n getId             entity put  address   n getAddress             entities add entity             return entities toString
