issue with @RequestBody when i pass json

When i used @RequestBody and pass json from frontend by AJAX with all the parameters of that object it works.

For Ex: @RequestBody Person person
Where person is a bean that contains name and phone info. So when i pass the json with name and phone info from frontend it works fine.

But it doesnt work when i add another parameter like post_id in json which is not related to person object. It gives me error stating "the request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect ()"

Note : i also added consumes = "application/json" and produces = "application/json" in spring and in jquery ajax i added contentType : "application/json"

You have to set a parameter on the ObjectMapper used by Jackson:

objMapper.configure(DeserializationConfig.Feature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false);

This is one way of setting this in Spring MVC:

Define a Custom Object Mapper this way:

import org.codehaus.jackson.map.DeserializationConfig;
import org.codehaus.jackson.map.ObjectMapper;
import org.codehaus.jackson.map.SerializationConfig;

public class CustomObjectMapper extends ObjectMapper {
    public CustomObjectMapper(){
        super.configure(SerializationConfig.Feature.WRITE_DATES_AS_TIMESTAMPS, false);
        super.configure(DeserializationConfig.Feature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false);
    }

}

Register this custom ObjectMapper:

<mvc:annotation-driven > 
   <mvc:message-converters register-defaults="false">
       <bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter" >
           <property name="objectMapper">
               <bean class="....CustomObjectMapper"/>
           </property>
       </bean>
   </mvc:message-converters>
</mvc:annotation-driven>

Also, in your request you will need to have an "Accept" header of "application/json"
