I'm trying to invoke my doPost method in java servlet through ajax command.

Don't seem to get it right.

I got this code in the doPost method in my servlet:

1. String title = request.getParameter("title");
2. String price = request.getParameter("price");
3. String quantity = request.getParameter("quantity");
4. // and alot more code

Got this code in my HTML:

1. <span>Title:</span> <input type="text" name="title" /><br />
2. <span>Price</span><input type="number" step="0.01" name="price" /><br /> 
3. <span>quantity</span><input type="number" name="quantity" /><br /> 
4. <input type="button" value="add Item" id="addItemToShoppingCart" />

and this code in my js file:

1. $(function() {
2.       $("#addItemToShoppingCart").click( function() {
3.             $.post("ShoppingCart")
4. })
5. })

Of course it don't work.

I want to make the call to doPost and send the params without form and submit.
