Spring MVC Rest Application on Weblogic throwing java.lang.StackOverflowError - spring

Question

my company is shifting from tomcat to WebLogic 12.1.3, So I am trying to create a sample Spring MVC rest application on WebLogic.
I clone a sample project from here https://github.com/hasanozgan/spring-mvc-akka-maven-weblogic-demo which is working fine, then modified few files accordingly.
POM
changed spring version to 4.2.1.RELEASE
add Jackson dependency

mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml
commented InternalResourceViewResolver because it’s a rest application.

a sample data pojo class with 3 variables.
package com.hasanozgan.demo.controllers;
import java.util.Date;
public class Data {
int rollNo;
String name;
Date d;
public int getRollNo() {
return rollNo;
}
public void setRollNo(int rollNo) {
this.rollNo = rollNo;
}
public Date getD() {
return d;
}
public void setD(Date d) {
this.d = d;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
}
Controller
replaced #Controller with #RestController and add pojo class as return type
package com.hasanozgan.demo.controllers;
import java.util.Date;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
import com.hasanozgan.demo.controllers.Data;
#RestController
#RequestMapping("/")
public class HelloController {
#RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
public Data home() {
Data d = new Data();
d.setName("hello");
d.setRollNo(1);
d.setD(new Date());
return d;
}
}
Deployment is successful on weblogic but when I am hitting rest url
http://localhost:7001/akka-demo with postman its saying
