Answer 1

I found the Solution from this MappingJacksonJsonView return top-level json object link. Need to add @ResponseBody annotation in controller and set produces={"application/json"}. Follwoing is my new code:

 @RequestMapping(value = "/changePassword", method = RequestMethod.POST, produces={"application/json"})
public @ResponseBody ApiResponse<UserDetail> changePassword(@Valid OauthClientDetail clientDetail,
        BindingResult bindingResult,
        @RequestParam(value = "password", required = true) String password) {
    logger.info("In changePassword Service...... ");

    if(bindingResult.hasErrors()){
        throw new InvalidRequestException("Error", bindingResult);
    }

    UserDetail detail = userService.changeUserPassword(password, clientDetail, encoder);
    ApiResponse<UserDetail> response = new ApiResponse<UserDetail>();
    if(detail != null){
        response.setSuccess(CommonUtility.API_RESPONSE_STATUS.SUCCESS.getValue());
        response.setMessage(CommonUtility.API_RESPONSE_STATUS.SUCCESS.getMessage());
        response.setResponse(detail);
    }else{
        response.setSuccess(CommonUtility.API_RESPONSE_STATUS.FAIL.getValue());
        response.setMessage(CommonUtility.API_RESPONSE_STATUS.FAIL.getMessage());
        response.setResponse(null);
    }
    return response; 
}
