I made some minor modification to you code and tested it with a spring project that I have and it works, The logic will only work with POST if I use GET it throws an error with invalid request. Also in your ajax call I commented out commit(true), the browser debugger flagged and error that it is not defined. Just modify the url to fit your Spring project architecture.

 $.ajax({ 
                    url: "/addDepartment", 
                    method: 'POST', 
                    dataType: 'json', 
                    data: "{\"message\":\"abc\",\"success\":true}",
                    contentType: 'application/json',
                    mimeType: 'application/json',
                    success: function(data) { 
                        alert(data.success + " " + data.message);
                        //commit(true);
                    },
                    error:function(data,status,er) { 
                        alert("error: "+data+" status: "+status+" er:"+er);
                    }
                });



@RequestMapping(value="/addDepartment", method=RequestMethod.POST)
  public AjaxResponse addDepartment(@RequestBody final AjaxResponse  departmentDTO)
  {
    System.out.println("addDepartment: >>>>>>> "+departmentDTO);
    AjaxResponse response=new AjaxResponse();
    response.setSuccess(departmentDTO.isSuccess());
    response.setMessage(departmentDTO.getMessage());
    return response;
  }
