I'm trying to set up my Tomcat server to handle AJAX requests with a Spring Controller, however I am getting 404 errors when the AJAX request is sent. I'm using IntelliJ with Maven, and ultimately trying to set up a website to handle a login service and other data services.
Here's what I have:

CredentialsController.java - path: myWebapp/src/main/java/com/myWebapp/sdc/controllers/CredentialsController.java. The ServiceRequest<> class works fine and is a standard template.
package com.myWebapp.sdc.controllers;
import com.myWebapp.classes.LoginDataModel;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;
import com.myWebapp.classes.ServiceRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
@Controller
@RequestMapping(value = "login")
public class CredentialsController {
public @ResponseBody ServiceRequest<LoginDataModel> login(
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
ServiceRequest<LoginDataModel> loginDataModelServiceRequest = new
ServiceRequest<LoginDataModel>(new
return loginDataModelServiceRequest;
}
}
and lastly, the AJAX call - inside html (path: myWebapp/src/web/index.html). The default launch page is http://localhost:8080/web/index.html. And I tested that JQuery is loaded correctly before the call is made.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#submitLogin").on('click', function(){
$.ajax({
type:"POST",
url: '/data/login',
success:function(data){
alert('success');
},
error:function(){
alert('failed');
}
});
});
});
and the XHR call in Chrome Dev Tools:

Any input would be appreciated! Thanks so much :)
UPDATE AND CLOSING: UNRESOLVED I wasn't able to figure this out unfortunately. Please consult for help elsewhere on this problem. I ended up using Node as a server instead.
