title: JQuery - $.ajax POST does not send .data to web server
body: <p>I am using the JQuery $.ajax post command to invoke an ajax event on my web server:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var formParams = "fe1=y&amp;fe2=m&amp;fe3=m";
  
  $.ajax({
      type: 'POST',
      url: '/foo.jsp',
      async: false,
      data: formParams,
      complete: function(xmlRequestObject, successString){
          ymmReceiveAjaxResponse(xmlRequestObject, successString);
      }
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The ajax component successfully calls the web page, but it does not include any of the post data.<br>
  ie - <code>"(HttpServletRequest) request.getParameterMap.size() == 0"</code> - I'd expect 3, but am getting zero.</p>
  
  <p>Changing the above command from POST to a GET makes everything work just fine. </p>
  
  <p>TIA</p>
