Spring Jquery Ajax Post上的400错误请求

Question

I'm getting a 400 bad request on this POST request. Any idea what the issue is here ? Logs are here .

Controller

@Controller
public class AjaxController {
    @RequestMapping(value="/addKeys", method=RequestMethod.POST, consumes="application/json; charset=UTF-8")
    public ResponseEntity<String> addKeys(@RequestParam(value="keys") ArrayList<Keys> keys){
        System.out.println("::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::"+keys);
    }
}

context-Servlet.xml

<beans>
    <mvc:annotation-driven />
    <context:component-scan base-package="com.canon.fw.controller" />
    <bean id="defaultViews" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.json.MappingJacksonJsonView" />
</beans>

Ajax

tmpList = '[{"key":"camera","label":"Camera"},{"key":"mobile","label":"Mobile"}]';
$.ajax({
  type: 'POST',
  url: ctx+'/ajx/addKeys',
  data: JSON.stringify({"keys": tmpList }),
  success: function(r){
      if(r.model.status=='success'){
          debugger;
          //glist.push(elem.key);
          //addToList(elem.key, elem.label);
          highlightInfoDisc();
      }
  },
  dataType: 'json',

Answer 1

You are posting JSON, not form data, but you are trying to read the ArrayList<Keys> as a form parameter.

Try changing your method signature from:

public ResponseEntity<String> addKeys(@RequestParam(value="keys") ArrayList<Keys> keys){

to

public ResponseEntity<String> addKeys(@RequestBody Keys[] keys){

That may not work since your JSON has an object that has a keys property that is the list of keys. So you could try to change your ajax post data to something like

data: JSON.stringify(tmpList)

so that you are just posting the list instead of wrapping it in another object that has the keys element.
