I am trying to send json data and get back json data as well. I've <annotation-driven /> configured in my servlet-context.xml and I am using Spring framework version 3.1.0.RELEASE. When I send the request the browser tells me that it is not happy with the data returned from the server and gives me 406 error. And when I see the response from the server I see the whole 406 page returned by tomcat 6 server.
I have got following in my pom for Jackson/Jackson processor:
<!-- Jackson -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-core-asl</artifactId>
<version>1.9.4</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-mapper-asl</artifactId>
<version>1.9.4</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-xc</artifactId>
<version>1.9.4</version>
</dependency>
<!-- Jackson JSON Processor -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-mapper-asl</artifactId>
<version>1.8.1</version>
</dependency>
Following is the jquery code I am using to send the json request:
$(function(){$(".sutmit-button").click(function(){
var dataString=$("#app-form").serialize();
$.ajax({
type:"POST",
url:"apply.json",
data:dataString,
success:function(data, textStatus, jqXHR){
console.log(jqXHR.status);
console.log(data);
$('.postcontent').html("<div id='message'></div>");
$('#message').html("<h3>Request Submitted</h3>").append("<p>Thank you for submiting your request.</p>").hide().fadeIn(1500,function(){$('#message');});
},
error:function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
console.log(jqXHR.status);
$('.postcontent').html("<div id='message'></div>");
$('#message').html("<h3>Request failed.</h3>").hide().fadeIn(1500,function(){$('#message');});
},
dataType: "json"
});
return false;});});
Following is the Controller that is handling the request:
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, value="apply", headers="Accept=application/json")
public @ResponseBody
Application processFranchiseeApplicationForm(HttpServletRequest request) {
//...
Application application = new Application(...);
//...
logger.debug(application);
return application;
}
I am not able to figure out the reason why I might be getting this error. Could someone help me understand why am I getting the given error?
Thanks.
