Question

I have some problems using ajax with Spring MVC. I want to refresh only a piece of page using ajax (and get piece of page from controller). So what i’am doing.

$.ajax({                                       
  url : '/getCartProducts',
  type : 'GET',
  async: true,
  data : {},
  success : function(data) {  
    //data shoud be rendered jsp with model from the controller  
  },
  error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
    alert(jqXHR + " : " + textStatus + " : " + errorThrown); 
  }
})`

This function should to give me view page from the controller. Here is my controller.

@RequestMapping(value = "/getCartProducts", method = RequestMethod.GET)
@ResponseBody String ajaxGetProdCart(HttpServletRequest request) {
    LOG.trace("We are in the controller");      
    return "cart"; //this is jsp page
}

A trying doing this without @ResponseBody but it’s not working. It alerts me error: Not found

Your cart.jsp must be inside pages folder.You must remove @ResponseBody annotation
