I have the following jQuery AJAX request:
// collect form data and create user obj
var user = new User();
user.firstname = $("#usrFirstName").val();
user.lastname = $("#usrSurname").val();
user.role = $("#usrRole").val();
// actual ajax request
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url : 'http://awesome-url',
crossDomain: true,
data: user,
contentType:"application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: 'json'
}).done(function(data, status) {
alert(JSON.stringify(data));
}).fail(function(data, status) {
alert(status);
alert(JSON.stringify(data));
});
The response from the Server is:
"status":400,"statusText":"Bad Request"
"The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect."
The server is running Spring-MVC. But as far as I can tell it is working correctly. Because if I'm sending a request manually with Postman and the following configuration it works.
Header:
Content-Type application/json; charset=utf-8
Content:
{"firstname":"alex","lastname":"lala","role":"admin"}
I have to mention that it is a cross-domain request (for the time developing, it will be hosted on the same domain as the server later). I did disable the security settings in the browser and AJAX requests to the server are working fine (as long as I don't have to send data).
