Question

I have an ajax call to a spring controller, then write the returned data to DOM.
Direct access controller in browser works fine and displays a string.
Run the ajax in debugger showing that ajax call fired and controller got called, then ajax call always failed. Any suggestion? Here’s my code.

servlet-context.xml:

<context:component-scan base-package="com.test.web.controller" />

controller method:

@RequestMapping(value = "/myAjaxHandler")
public void myAjaxHandler(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response){
    response.setContentType("text/html");
    response.getWriter().println("Hello");
}

ajax code:

$.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: '/dispatcher/myAjaxHandler',
    data: $("form").serialize(),
    dataType: "text",
    success: function(data) {
        alert("success");
    },
    error: function(){
        alert("fail");
    }
});
