使用AJAX验证用户名是否可用

jsp里：

 <script type="text/javascript">
		$(function () {
			$("#username").blur(function () {
			 var username=this.value;
			 $.getJSON("http://localhost:8080/book_03/userServlet", "action=ajaxUsernameExist&username="+username,
					 function (msg) {
			 			if (msg.flag)
						{
							$("span.errorMsg").text("用户名已存在");
						}
			 			else{
			 				$("span.errorMsg").text("用户名可用");
						}
					 })

			});

<input class="itxt" type="text" placeholder="请输入用户名"
										   autocomplete="off" tabindex="1" name="username" id="username"
									value="${requestScope.username}"
									/>

servlet：

 protected  void ajaxUsernameExist(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        String username= request.getParameter("username");
        boolean flag = userService.existsUsername(username);
        Map<String,Object> map=new HashMap<String,Object>();
        map.put("flag",flag);
        Gson gson =new Gson();
        String s = gson.toJson(map);
        response.getWriter().write(s);
    }
