Question

I am sending a list of json object and trying to deserialize it in my Spring controller. But all the time I am getting error of \'Bad request\' and results into a status co

I will not suspect server side binding error yet because you are getting 415 - Unsupported Media Type error. You are setting correct media type on controller and hence server side is looking good.

At client side, Please make sure you are using jquery 1.5+ to make sure beforeSend() method is getting invoked.

Easier way to content type will be,

$.ajax({
        url:api,
        ....
        contentType: "application/json"
    });

Please inspect network request from browser and make sure content type is set in header.

If you receive 400-Bad Request, then you can start looking deserializing issues.
