Remove  ResponseBody annotation from your use parameters in method   Like this        Autowired     ProjectService projectService        RequestMapping path     add   method   RequestMethod POST      public ResponseEntity lt Project gt  createNewProject Project newProject           Project project   projectService save newProject            return new ResponseEntity lt Project gt  project HttpStatus CREATED

The solution can be found here https   github com spring-projects spring-framework issues 22734   you can create two separate post request mappings  For example    PostMapping path     test   consumes    application json   public String test  RequestBody User user      return user toString        PostMapping path     test   consumes    application x-www-form-urlencoded   public String test User user      return user toString

You have to tell Spring what input content-type is supported by your service  You can do this with the  consumes  Annotation Element that corresponds to your request s  Content-Type  header    RequestMapping value        method   RequestMethod POST  consumes     application x-www-form-urlencoded      It would be helpful if you posted your code

you should replace  RequestBody with  RequestParam  and do not accept parameters with a java entity   Then you controller is probably like this    RequestMapping value     patientdetails   method   RequestMethod POST   consumes    MediaType APPLICATION FORM URLENCODED VALUE   public  ResponseBody List lt PatientProfileDto gt  getPatientDetails       RequestParam Map lt String  String gt  name       List lt PatientProfileDto gt  list   new ArrayList lt PatientProfileDto gt               PatientProfileDto patientProfileDto   mapToPatientProfileDto mame             list   service getPatient patientProfileDto      return list

The problem is that when we use application x-www-form-urlencoded  Spring doesn t understand it as a RequestBody  So  if we want to use this we must remove the  RequestBody annotation   Then try the following    RequestMapping value     patientdetails   method   RequestMethod POST consumes   MediaType APPLICATION FORM URLENCODED VALUE  public  ResponseBody List lt PatientProfileDto gt  getPatientDetails          PatientProfileDto name          List lt PatientProfileDto gt  list   new ArrayList lt PatientProfileDto gt         list   service getPatient name       return list      Note that removed the annotation  RequestBody

The easiest thing to do is to set the content type of your ajax request to  application json  charset utf-8  and then let your API method consume JSON  Like this   var basicInfo   JSON stringify       firstName  playerProfile firstName        lastName  playerProfile lastName        gender  playerProfile gender        address  playerProfile address        country  playerProfile country        bio  playerProfile bio          ajax       url   http   localhost 8080 social profile update       type   POST       dataType   json       contentType   application json  charset utf-8       data  basicInfo      success  function data                                RequestMapping      value     profile update       method   RequestMethod POST      produces   MediaType APPLICATION JSON VALUE      consumes   MediaType APPLICATION JSON VALUE  public ResponseEntity lt ResponseModel gt  UpdateUserProfile       RequestBody User usersNewDetails      HttpServletRequest request      HttpServletResponse response                    I guess the problem is that Spring Boot has issues submitting form data which is not JSON via ajax request   Note  the default content type for ajax is  application x-www-form-urlencoded
