Java server side cannot process requests of contentType "www-form-urlencoded" from Editor Ajax call

Zhen

Editor's Ajax call always sends request payload of contentType "www-form-urlencoded".
This contentType cannot be changed by setting its Ajax options "contentType" to "application/json" and "dataType" to "json".
I find that Editor's Ajax call with a bit complicated request data cannot be processed on Java server side (Spring REST & MVC)
due to the error in object mapping.
How to resolve this problem?

Is sending the data as raw JSON an option? Most server-side environments have that ability and I assume Spring is no exception. You can use:

ajax: {
  url: ...,
  data: function ( d ) {
    return JSON.stringify( d );
  }
}

in Editor's configuration to do that.
