I'm trying to make an ajax call to my Spring controller/action with POST method, and return an object from the server with @ResponseBody. The strange situation is that it stop working after add spring security layer, everything was working fine before. I will try to explain my moves to solve the problem and then show you the code/captures/etc.
1.
After some research I found some answers telling the problem might be related with csrf mechanism, so I disabled it and still have the issue. (spring-security.xml bellow)
2.
I've made a wireshark capture to check the request/response. My ajax request is OK, my controller declaration is OK, but I don't understand why, the 405 response indicates > Allow: GET (capture bellow)
3.
I've tried to access my controller action through the browser (i.e., make an GET request), and I get the error HTTP Status 405 - Request method 'GET' not supported!
4.
I've tried to change the RequestMapping(method...) to RequestMethod.GET and the request arrives to the controller and works fine, but I don't want it to work on GET method, I want a POST request.
5.
Changed the RequestMapping(consumes, produces, headers) to accept all kind of data, but still 405...
This is driving me crazy! I post my files bellow, so you can check it guys, any tip will be appreciated. Thanks! (IMPORTANT NOTE: this is my despair configuration)
spring-security.xml
xmlns...(all needed declarations)>
username-parameter="email"
password-parameter="password"
authentication-failure-url="/login?failed" />
..... (authentication)
AdminController.java
@Controller
@RequestMapping("/admin**")
public class AdminController {
... (all my autowired beans)
@RequestMapping(
value = "/events/loadEvents",
method = RequestMethod.POST,
consumes = MediaType.ALL_VALUE,
produces = MediaType.ALL_VALUE,
headers = "Accept=*/*")
@ResponseBody
public Event loadEvents(@RequestParam("parentId") long parentId) {
... (my logic)
return event;
}
}
Request (wireshark capture)
Response (wireshark capture)
EDIT
jquery ajax call code
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
cache: false,
url: /admin/events/loadEvents,
data: { parentId: 1 },
dataType = 'json',
contentType = 'application/json',
...
});
