jquery ajax bad request,jquery - Spring MVC Ajax 400 bad request - Stack Overflow

I got a "400 : Bad Request" when I trigger the Ajax request, it's a 'up-right-corner' login. I don't know why. In firebug, I can see that the request url is correct, but it returns the "400 : Bad Request". I can't debug because it seems the client hasn't sent anything successfully back to the controller. I guess there's a mistake of using ajax in my code.

Controller:

@Controller

@RequestMapping("/login")

public class AjaxLoginController {

@Autowired

SecurityContextRepository repository;

@Autowired

RememberMeServices rememberMeServices;

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)

public void login() {

}

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)

@ResponseBody

public String performLogin(@RequestParam("j_username") String username,

@RequestParam("j_password") String password, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {

UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken token = new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(username, password);

try {

Authentication authentication = authenticationManager.authenticate(token);

SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthentication(authentication);

repository.saveContext(SecurityContextHolder.getContext(), request, response);

rememberMeServices.loginSuccess(request, response, authentication);

return "{\"status\": true}";

} catch (BadCredentialsException e) {

return "{\"status\": false, \"error\": \"Bad Credentials\"}";

}

}

JSP:

function doLogin() {

var url = "${login_url}";

var username = $("#j_username").val();

var password = $("#j_password").val();

$.ajax({

url : url,

type : "POST",

cache : false,

async : true,

contentType : "application/json; charset=UTF-8",

data : JSON.stringify({

"j_username" : username,

"j_password" : password

}),

datatype : "json",

success : function(data) {

alert("YES");

},

error : function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {

alert(XMLHttpRequest.status + " : " + errorThrown);

}

});

}

οnsubmit="return false;">
