$.ajax DELETE ignoring data

Question

I found this link when searching for a solution. It suggests a bugfix in version 1.4.x. Thats a realy old version and i havent been fixed yet?

$.ajax ignoring data param for DELETE requests

The code below works perfectly find on a GET taking exactly the same request parameters. How I call the DELETE method?

    var data = {
            accessToken : accessToken
        }



        $.ajax({
            type : 'DELETE',
            url : "/user/" + userId,
            cache : false,
            data : data,
            success : function(profile) {
                $("#account-delete .response-container").html(JSON.stringify(profile, null, 2));
                $("#account-delete .request-container").html("/user/?" + $.param(data));
            }, 
            error : function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                $("#account-delete .error-container").html(textStatus +" - " +  errorThrown);

            }

        });

did you check out this other SO question Here? This may be your problem:

Just a note, if you're using an IIS webserver and the jquery PUT or DELETE requests are returning 404 errors, you will need to enable these verbs in IIS. I've found this to be a good resource:

you probably shouldn't be using DELETE because some browsers won't support it according to the jQuery documentation.

Maybe this answer will help as an alternative.

Ok this soultion works.

Add this filter in web.xml

<filter>
    <filter-name>hiddenHttpMethodFilter</filter-name>
        <filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.HiddenHttpMethodFilter</filter-class>
    </filter>

    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>hiddenHttpMethodFilter</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>
</filter>

Call the controller with POST providing _method: 'DELETE' in data.

  $.ajax({  
        url: "/application/form",
        type: 'POST',  
        data: { 
            _method: 'DELETE',
            param : "param"

        },  
        success: function (res) {  
            console.log("success");
        } , 
        error: function (res) {  
            alert(res);
        } 
    });
