Issue with POST in Angular JS - angularjs

Question

I am trying to POST data using angular+ node j to my REST service running in jetty.
Here is the code:
var app =
angular.module("loginapp", []);
app.controller("loginctrl", function($scope,$http) {
app.config(['$httpProvider', function($httpProvider) {
$httpProvider.defaults.useXDomain = true;
delete $httpProvider.defaults.headers.common['X-Requested-With'];
}
]);
app.config(['$sceDelegateProvider', function($sceDelegateProvider) {
$sceDelegateProvider.resourceUrlWhitelist(['self', 'http://localhost:9011/**']);
}]);
$scope.login = function(e){
console.log('clicked login...');
e.preventDefault();
$http({
url: "http://localhost:9011/test/dummy/doStuff1",
method: "POST",
data : {email: $scope.email, password: $scope.password},
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8' },
withCredentials: false,
}).success(function (data, status, headers, config) {
console.log('status',status);
console.log('data',JSON.stringify(data));
console.log('headers',headers);
});
}
});
However the data which i am passing in the Request is not getting mapped to the method argument in the REST service due to which the method is not getting invoked.Here is the code:
#Path("/test/dummy")
public class DummyService {
#POST
#Consumes({MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED})
#Produces({ MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
#Path("/doStuff1")
public Response doStuff1(DummyParam param) {
System.out.println("Hiiiiiiiiii : ");
return Response.ok().build();
}
Without the param argument the method gets invoked however with it its not working.
The server file is :
var express = require("express");
var path = require("path");
var bodyParser = require("body-parser");
var cor = require("cors");
var app = express();
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(cor());
app.all("/*", function (req, res, next) {
res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Cache-Control, Pragma, Origin, Authorization, Content-Type, X-Requested-With");
res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "GET, PUT, POST");
if (req.method === 'OPTIONS') {
res.statusCode = 204;
return res.end();
} else {
return next();
}
});
app.get('/',function(req,res) {
res.sendFile(__dirname +'/test/test.html')
})
app.listen(3000);
console.log("Running at Port 3000");
Can anyone help me how to resolve this issue?
Thanks

If you see the from data coming correctly then it has to be something with setting bodyParser correctly, I had the same problem and solved it with bodyParser extension for json file. In Express.js it looks like this.
app.use(bodyParser.json());
My last guess is that maybe you need cookie-parser as well
Try to add it after body-parser:
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: true}));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(cookieParser('SecretCode!'));
I still deepen my knowledge about express/node, but maybe it will help if not i suggest you to disconnect you api on small parts so it is easier to see what's wrong.
