Question

i’ve been struggling with this problem for quite some time. I’ve followed all suggestions provided in similar problems but without success.

As the title says, data passed by my $.ajax is not received by my controller.

jQuery:

var data = {
    id: id,
    app: app
};


    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "/Utility/FetchTransactionLog",
        data: JSON.stringify(data),
        contentType: "application/json;",
        success: function (data) {
            if (data) {
                h.resultDiv.html(data);
            }
            else {
                h.resultDiv.html("");
                alert("No Log Found");
            }
        }
    });

Controller:

//id and app receives null values
public ActionResult FetchTransactionLog(string id,string app) {
    UtilityModels util = new UtilityModels(app);
    List<ResultModel> result = util.FetchTransactionLog(id);
    return View("LogResult", result);            
}

Route in Global.asax:

routes.MapRoute(
    "Default", // Route name
    "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
    new { controller = "Utility", action = "Index", id=UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);

routes.MapRoute(
     "FetchLog",
     "Utility/FetchTransactionLog/{id}/{app}",
     new { controller = "Utility", action = "FetchTransactionLog", id = "", app = "" } // Parameter defaults
 );      

What am i doing wrong?

Update

The following works as suggested by Samich:

$.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "/Utility/FetchTransactionLog/" + id + "/" + app,
            data: "{}",
            contentType: "application/json;",
            success: function (data) {
                if (data) {
                    h.resultDiv.html(data);
                }
                else {
                    h.resultDiv.html("");
                    alert("No Log Found");
                }
            }
        });

try just to append your id and app to your url as you specified in the routes /Utility/FetchTransactionLog/{id}/{app}

Probably because your routing expects values in query string and doesn’t find it there, so the default values provided from the routing registration
