I’m trying to insert and/or update data into the database using the PUT method

  • 0

I’m trying to insert and/or update data into the database using the PUT method via JSON using jQuery 1.6, (Jackson 2.1.1 and Spring 3.2.0).

The JS code is as follows.

 var itemsArray=[];
 var id;

function insertOrUpdate()
{
    var i=0;

    $('input[name="txtCharge[]"]').each(function()
    {
        isNaN($(this).val())||$(this).val()==''?itemsArray[i][2]='':itemsArray[i][2]=$(this).val();
        i++;
    });                

    $.ajax({
        headers: { 
            'Accept': 'application/json',
            'Content-Type': 'application/json' 
        },
        datatype:"json",
        type: "PUT",
        url: "/wagafashion/ajax/InsertZoneCharge.htm",
        data: "items=" + JSON.stringify(itemsArray)+"&zoneId="+id+"&t="+new Date().getTime(),
        success: function(response)
        {
            alert(response);
        },
        error: function(e)
        {
            alert('Error: ' + e);
        }
    });
}

The method inside the Spring controller which is mapped with the URL is as follows.

@RequestMapping(value=("ajax/InsertZoneCharge"), method=RequestMethod.PUT, produces=MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
public @ResponseBody String insertZoneCharge(@RequestBody final MultiValueMap<String, String > data, final HttpServletResponse response, HttpServletRequest request)
{
    String message="";
    try
    {
        Map<String, String> params = data.toSingleValueMap();
        if(params.get("zoneId")==null||params.get("zoneId").equals("")||params.get("items")==null||params.get("items").equals(""))
        {
            response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_BAD_REQUEST);
        }
        else
        {
            message=zoneChargeService.insertZoneCharge(params.get("zoneId"), params.get("items"));
        }
    }
    catch (IOException ex)
    {
        message="An error occured. Data can not be saved.";
        Logger.getLogger(ZoneCharge.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    }

    return message;
}

The server responds as the question implies,

415 Unsupported Media Type

It works when I remove @RequestBody final MultiValueMap<String, String > data, a method parameter and simply use @PathVariable to accept request parameters.

    The content type that the browser sends, Content-Type: application/json, does not seem to match @RequestBody final MultiValueMap<String, String > data.

    Either:
