POST JSON fails with 415 Unsupported media type, Spring 3 mvc

by

I’ve had this happen before with Spring @ResponseBody and it was because there was no accept header sent with the request. Accept header can be a pain to set with jQuery, but this worked for me source

$.postJSON = function(url, data, callback) {
    return jQuery.ajax({
    headers: { 
        'Accept': 'application/json',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json' 
    },
    'type': 'POST',
    'url': url,
    'data': JSON.stringify(data),
    'dataType': 'json',
    'success': callback
    });
};

The Content-Type header is used by @RequestBody to determine what format the data being sent from the client in the request is. The accept header is used by @ResponseBody to determine what format to sent the data back to the client in the response. That’s why you need both headers.
