Eu tenho um controlador mapeado com a seguinte anotação:

@RequestMapping(value = "/json", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = "application/json")
@ResponseBody
public String bar() {
    return "{\"test\": \"jsonResponseExample\"}";
}

No entanto, retorno uma sequência JSON válida. O tipo de conteúdo quando vejo a resposta nas Ferramentas de Desenvolvimento do Chrome no navegador não éapplication/json mas simplesmentetext/html. Por que o tipo de conteúdo não está sendo definido?
