Question

i want to send json to server using Spring 3.x, i use annotation @RequestBody, but my controller don’t called.

Please, send me a complete example, if any, I’m trying to use example in
http://blog.springsource.com/2010/01/25/ajax-simplifications-in-spring-3-0/ but it doesn’t work. Here is a javascript code

function sendAjax() {
var person = new Object();
person.firstname = "Firsname";
person.lastname = "Lastname";

jQuery.ajax({ 
    url: "person", 
    type: 'POST', 
    dataType: 'json', 
    data: person, 
    contentType: 'application/json', 
    success: function(data) { 
        alert(data.firstname + " " + data.lastname);
    } 
});}

And my controller is

@Controller public class AjaxController {

@RequestMapping(value="person", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public @ResponseBody Person getRequest(@RequestBody Person person) {        
    System.out.println(person.getFirstname() + " " + person.getLastname());
    return new Person("Return", "Body");
}}

<context:component-scan base-package="com.synisys.spring.test.controllers" />
<context:annotation-config/>

        <property name="suffix">

Answer 1

Please make sure you have

 <context:annotation-config/> 

and also

<bean id="jacksonMessageConverter" class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter"></bean>
 <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter">
<property name="messageConverters">
  <list>
    <ref bean="jacksonMessageConverter"/>
  </list>
</property>
</bean>

In your spring xml conf file.
