You can use ContentNegotiatingViewResolver as below:

In your controller:

@RequestMapping(value = "/get/response.json", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public JSONResponse getJsonResponse(){
    return responseService.getJsonResponse();
}
@RequestMapping(value = "/get/response.xml", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public  XMLResponse getXmlResponse(){
    return responseService.getXmlResponse();
}
