Error 415 with ajax request (Spring)

Question

My ajax request gets sent but never reaches my conrtroller, I get a 415 Error ()

The Ajax Request

function likeAjax(mId) {
    var data = {}
    data["id"] = mId;

    $.ajax({
        type : "POST",
        headers: {
            'Accept': 'application/json',
            'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        },
        url : "/likeMessage",
        data : JSON.stringify(data),
        dataType : 'json',
        timeout : 100000,
        beforeSend :(xhr)=>{
            xhr.setRequestHeader(csrfheader,csrftoken); //for Spring Security
        },
        success : (data) =>{
            console.log("SUCCESS : ", data);
            alert(data);
        },
        error : (e)=> {
            console.log("ERROR: ", e);
        },
        done : function(e) {
            alert("DONE : " + e.toString());
            console.log("DONE");
        }
    });

The controller

@ResponseBody()
@RequestMapping(value = "/likeMessage", method = RequestMethod.POST, consumes = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
public AjaxResponseBody likeWithAjax(@RequestBody() AjaxRequestBody request) {

    AjaxResponseBody result = new AjaxResponseBody();

    //some logic

    return result
}

The AjaxRequestBody and AjaxResponseBody classes

private class AjaxRequestBody{
    int id;
}

private class AjaxResponseBody{
    String message;
}

I'm sure that I am missing something obvious but I can't seem to figure this one out.

Thank you for your help

Remove ResponseBody() annotation from the Controller Method. Make sure you have added RestCOntroller annotation in the Controller Class.

Add produces = "application/json" in RequestMapping

Updated the answer with produces = "application/json" – Prakash Ayappan Jun 10 '18 at 18:24
Interesting, let me see the logs. Meanwhile, you could trydata : JSON.stringify(data) as data : data. Also, a fall back method with String as Arguement to analyse further. – Prakash Ayappan Jun 10 '18 at 18:41
all I get is : State HTTP 415 – Unsupported Media Type and i tried removing the `JSON.stringify` already – benzi11 Jun 10 '18 at 18:51
thank you for your help, but this problem is not worth the time nor the energy, I'll find another way to do what I want – benzi11 Jun 10 '18 at 19:18
