with @codechimp realized request sending not having proper accept headers. used chromes "advanced rest client" , added headers key ="accept" , value ="application/json",i able proper response.

update found <mvc:annotation-driven /> not added in dispatcher servlet configures support http message conversion @requestbody/@responsebody.once added piece of info there no need use advanced rest client.
