Spring mvc @RequestBody String format

Question

I have one Controller : personController.java

@Controller 
public class personController {     

    private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(OcaController.class);  

    @RequestMapping(value = "/person", method = {RequestMethod.POST, RequestMethod.GET})        
    public String ocaContract(@RequestBody String requestPerson) {
        return requestPerson;
    }

1 JSP : person.jsp

<html>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body>
        <form class="form-horizontal" METHOD="POST" ACTION="webmvc/person" ENCTYPE="x-www-form-urlencoded">
            <div class="controls">
                <input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="" placeholder="">
            </div>
            <div class="controls">
                <input type="text" name="surname" id="surname" value="" placeholder="">
            </div>
            <input type="submit" value="ok"/>
        </form>
    </body>
</html>

and one Object Class : Person.java

@XmlRootElement(name="Person")
public class Person {

@XmlElement(required = true)
protected String name;
@XmlElement(required = true, nillable = true)
protected String surname;

 public String getName() {
    return name;
}

public void setName(String value) {
    this.name = value;
} ...

When I populate the JSP and click on the input button, my controller return this "requestPerson" string :

name=&surname=

Is it a way to have this string as a POJO ? My final result must be at the XML format :

<person>
<name>Lisala</name>
<surname>Lili</surname></person>

I hope you ll can help me because i'm on it since 1 day now and i didn't find an easy way to accomplish this.

You can replace @RequestBody with @ModelAttribute and String to Person

public String ocaContract(@ModelAttribute Person requestPerson) {
