Q: 

Using jQuery to post JSON object to Spring 3 controller

I'm trying to POST a JSON object to a controller in Spring 3.

I'm getting the following error:

My Controller:

@RequestMapping(value = MappingConstants.RULE_ASSIGNMENT, method = RequestMethod.POST)
 public String saveRuleAssignment(@RequestBody RuleAssignmentCO ruleAssignment) {

  return MappingConstants.REDIRECT + MappingConstants.RULE_ASSIGNMENT;
 }

My jQuery javascript:

  ruleAssignment = {
   titleId: titleId,
   typeId: typeId,
   seriesId: seriesId
            }

  jQuery.ajax({
   url: 'ruleAssignment',
   type: 'POST',
   dataType: 'json',
   data: ruleAssignment,
        contentType: 'application/json',
        success: function(result) {
         console.log('here');
        }
  });
+1  A: 

jQuery doesn't encode Javascript objects into JSON automatically, you need to do it manually with JSON.stringify():

jQuery.ajax({ 
    url: 'ruleAssignment', 
    type: 'POST', 
    dataType: 'json', 
    data: JSON.stringify(ruleAssignment), 
    contentType: 'application/json', 
    success: function(result) { 
         console.log('here'); 
    } 
});

Note that some browsers don't support JSON.stringify() as a built-in method, in this case you need json2.js for portability.
