You can also use HttpServletResponse for adding your status and headers in a more easy way:

@RequestMapping(value="ajaxSuccess", method = RequestMethod.GET)
@ResponseBody
public String ajaxSuccess(HttpServletResponse response) {
  response.addHeader("header-name", "value");
  response.setStatus(200);
  return "Body";
}

Therefore you need to add following maven dependency as provided:

    org.apache.tomcat
    tomcat-servlet-api
