Not able to PUT json array in Ext.ajax.request

[zjda]

Hi All,

I try to send an array of json object to the server:

            Ext.Ajax.request({
                url: '../rest/admin/group/',
                method: 'PUT', 
                headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
                params: {
                    sorts: Ext.JSON.encode([{"property":"name","direction":"ASC"}]) 
                },
                success: function(response) {
                    ...
                }    
            });

The server uses Spring MVC to handle the request:

        binder.registerCustomEditor(Sort.class, new JsonPropertyEditor(Sort[].class));

...

    @RequestMapping(value = "/group", method = RequestMethod.PUT)
    public View removeUsers4Group(Model model, 
            @RequestBody Sort[] sorts) {
...
}

I get the 404 error (bad request) and the request never reaches the handler. However, if it is a request param, the object get parsed correctly:

            @RequestParam(value = "sort", required = false) final Sort[] sorts, Model model) {

I am using extjs 4.1.1a. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Check out the network tab in browser dev tools. The params will be sent as form data

It looks like that I have to use 'jsonData' instead of 'params' to make it work with Spring @RequestBody.

Thank you very much for your reply.
