Hello Dr Sun,

I am using jquery ajax to retrieve a job object from the controller to jsp and I am getting a 406 error. Do we need to add any jar files to pom.xml to make ajax work??

Thank You

No.

Well, actually it depends on how your Ajax call is implemented - in particular, whether it expects a JSON response. Since you are doing Ajax which is not required, I assume you know what you are doing.

You don't have to, as shown in the simple examples in the Ajax lecture. However, if you want to get a somewhat complex object back in response, you almost always want to use either JSON or XML format for the data. Again, since you are doing extra stuff, I assume you know about these things.
