Posting JSON with AJAX request in play2 - ajax

Question

i'm using play framework 2.0.4
i have a route :
POST /addMail controllers.Application.addMail()
In my controller Application i define the addMail method :
public static Result addMail()
{
JsonNode json = request().body().asJson();
Long id = json.findPath("id").asLong(0);
String email = json.findPath("email").getTextValue();
GameScore gs = GameScore.findById(id);
gs.setEmail(email);
gs.save();
return ok();
}
If i call this method through CURL i have no problem :
curl --header "Content-type: application/json" --request POST --data '{"id": 13, "email": "test#DB.com"}' http://localhost:9000/addMail
But if i call this method through an AJX request i have a 500 response.
$addMailBtn.click(function(event) {
$this = $(this);
var id = $this.attr("id").substring(14);
var email = $("#saisieMailField_" + id).val();
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: "#routes.Application.addMail()",
dataType:"json",
data: {"id":id, "email": '"' + email + '"'},
success: location.reload()
})
} );
If i print in my console my json data, json data is null when i perform my ajax request but is alright through curl.
I have tried to add
#BodyParser.Of(play.mvc.BodyParser.Json.class)
on my method but it doesn't change anything.
Thanks for your time.

This works for me. Note that i stringify the JSON object, and I think this is your problem.
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://myservice:9000/api/v1/positions",
data: JSON.stringify({"nwLng":72.22,"nwLat":22.22, "seLng":22.22,"seLat":55.33}),
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (data) { alert(data); },
failure: function (errMsg) { alert(errMsg); }
});
