Angular Spring Post json with array - json

Question

i try to send json object from angular frontend to spring mvc backend without success. This is my config and what i have tried :
config :
web.xml :
<servlet>
<servlet-name>rest</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>classpath:/META-INF/jdu/contexts/rest-servlet.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>rest</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/api/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
rest-servlet.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.json.MappingJacksonJsonView">
<!-- prevent JSON Hijacking -->
<property name="prefixJson" value="true"/>
</bean>
</beans>
applicationContext:
<!-- Configures the annotation-driven Spring MVC Controller programming model.
Note that, with Spring 3.0, this tag works in Servlet MVC only! -->
<mvc:annotation-driven>
<mvc:message-converters>
<!-- Use the HibernateAware mapper instead of the default -->
<bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter">
<property name="objectMapper">
<bean class="com.mc.jdu.utils.HibernateAwareObjectMapper"/>
</property>
</bean>
</mvc:message-converters>
</mvc:annotation-driven>
pom.xml with jackson-version = 2.6.3:
<!-- Data Mapper package is a high-performance data binding package built
on Jackson JSON processor -->

my controller :
#RequestMapping(value="/create", method=RequestMethod.POST)
#ResponseBody
public StatusResponse create(EventsDTO eventsDTO) throws TechnicalException {
return service.create(eventsDTO);
}
EventDTO :
public class EventsDTO implements BeanInterface{
private String textColor;
private String color;
private List<CallendarDTO> events = new ArrayList<CallendarDTO>();
public EventsDTO(){
}
// getters and setters
CallendarDTO :
public class CallendarDTO {
private String title;
private String libelle;
private String date;
private String start;
private String end;
private String duree;
private boolean allDay;
private boolean stick;
Angular :
var _queryPost = function(url, data, defData) {
$http({
headers:{'Content-Type':'application/json'},
method: 'POST',
url: url,
params: data
})
.success( function(data, status, headers, config) {
defData.$resolve(data);
$log.info(data);
})
. error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
$log.warn('*** DataProvider - query - error - status:' + status);
401===status?$location.path('/signIn'):$location.path('/error' + status);
defData.$reject(data);
});
return defData;
};
And the data :
$scope.eventsDTO = [];
$scope.eventsDTO.color = "green ";
$scope.eventsDTO.texColor="";
//$scope.eventsDTO.events=[];
$scope.eventsDTO.events= [
{
"title":"1",
"date":"2013-10-04",
"libelle":"lib 1",
"start":"08:30",
"end":"10:30",
"duree":"02:00",
"allDay":false,
"stick":true
},
{
"title":"2",
"date":"2013-10-04",
"libelle":"lib 2",
"start":"08:30",
"end":"10:30",
"duree":"02:00",
"allDay":false,
"stick":true
}
];
OK. if i try like this i get : "the server responded with a status of 400 (Bad Request)"
If the events list is empty, it works....but of course i need this list
So i red this post : Spring MVC : post request and json object with array : bad request
and i have tried to add #RequestBody on the controller like this :
#RequestMapping(value="/create", method=RequestMethod.POST)
#ResponseBody
public StatusResponse create(#RequestBody EventsDTO eventsDTO) throws TechnicalException {
return service.create(eventsDTO);
}
but now i get : "the server responded with a status of 415 (Unsupported Media Type)"
In fact, the app works when i pass object without List inside. But if there is a List (like EventsDTO with its CallendarDTO List), it doesn't work.
The error 415 by adding #RequestBody make me think that my Jackson config is wrong...but where ?
I have tried to change apllicationContext.xml configuration with what i have found ont the web, for exemple, by adding :
<bean id="jacksonMessageConverter"
class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter"></bean>
<bean
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter">
<property name="messageConverters">
<list>
<ref bean="jacksonMessageConverter" />
</list>
</property>
</bean>
But i don't understand exactly how does it work..
How can i pass my EventsDTO ?
