Json POST Request data don't get to server in Play Framework 2

Question

Hey I'm struggling with that problem. The server gets the request but not the json that i transmit. I have searched in the threads, but found nothing that works for me.

My Coffescript request:

d = { 'filter': "John Portella" };

$.ajax(
  type: "POST",
  dataType: "text/json",
  data : JSON.stringify(d),
  url: "/restricted/actionOnMultipleDatasets",
  success: (data) ->
    ...

The related route:

POST   /restricted/actionOnMultipleDatasets       controllers.ajax.AjaxDatasetOperations.actionOnMultipleDatasets()

and the Controller action

@SecuredAction(authorization = WithProvider.class, params = { "userpassword" })
public static Result actionOnMultipleDatasets() {
    UserInfo userInfo = (UserInfo) ctx().args.get(SecureSocial.USER_KEY);
        JsonNode json=request().body().asJson();
    if(json==null){
        return badRequest(Json.toJson("Data is not Json!"));
    }

And every time I request that action the json is null. Does anyone figure out why this happens? As additional information I use securesocial.

I have tried to clean up the project. Nothing happened.

When posting with jquery, try adding the following lines as parameters:

contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
