nemanja AJAX,java - Submitting structured HashMap through POST (without AJAX) - Stack Overflow

I'm trying to catch a POJO as a post Page, rather than an ajax call (since I'm returning a file in the end and the request is too complex for a GET call).

Basically the POJO looks something like:

@Data public class A { private String a; private String b; private String c; }

@Data public class B { private Integer n; private Map m; }

The controller expects the B item, so something like:

@Controller

public class Controller {

@PostMapping("/url") public HttpEntity getFile(@RequestBody B b) {

return getResponseEntityInformationWhatever(b);

}

}

So the form kind of dynamically generates the "hidden" type fields and tries to submit the form to something like:

Note: I also tried without ' (ie. m[someKEy][a])

Note 2: Every example here I typed manually on SO, the real example is a bit bigger, so please ignore syntax errors.

Is there any native way for spring to pick up this information, or do I have to do it another way?

Currently the requests returns with 415 and the controller doesn't even pick up the request.

Thanks

EDIT

When switching @RequestBody B b with @RequestParam Map params I get appropriate map back. So in this context something like:

{

"n": 3,

"m['someKey']['a']": "foo",

"m['someKey']['b']": "bar",

...

}
