HTTP status 404 while calling ajax url

Question

I have a form which has submit button and button. I am implementing an ajax cal for a button using get method. I have passed value in url. and while clicking on button, it is making an ajax cal. but in the middle before success function, stopping abruptly. If I see in "Show Command Line Popup" in mozilla, I am able to see the error status:404."The requested resource is not available".

I am using thymeleaf and spring mvc. below is my ajax cal

<script type="text/javascript">
    function process(){
        alert("button clicked");
        $.ajax({
            url:'searchabc',
        }).done(function (){
            alert("success");
        });
    }
</script

and spring method:

@RequestMapping(value = "xxx/yyy/searchabc", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String searchabc(Model model){
        log.debug("hello");
         return "helloworld";
    }

Answer 1

Just change:

        url:'./searchabc',

To:

        url:'searchabc',

Answer 2

You may need to add @ResponseBody . Please also validate the url. Also it will be useful if you share the url mapping from application context and web.xml

@RequestMapping(value = "xxx/yyy/searchabc", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public @ResponseBody String searchabc(Model model){
        log.debug("hello");
         return "helloworld";
    }
