Convert your JSON object to JSON String using

JSON.stringify({"name":"testName"})

or manually. @RequestBody expecting json string instead of json object.

Note:stringify function having issue with some IE version, firefox it will work

verify the syntax of your ajax request for POST request. processData:false property is required in ajax request

$.ajax({ 
    url:urlName,
    type:"POST", 
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    data: jsonString, //Stringified Json Object
    async: false,    //Cross-domain requests and dataType: "jsonp" requests do not support synchronous operation
    cache: false,    //This will force requested pages not to be cached by the browser  
     processData:false, //To avoid making query String instead of JSON
     success: function(resposeJsonObject){
        // Success Action
    }
});

Controller

@RequestMapping(value = urlPattern , method = RequestMethod.POST)

public @ResponseBody Test addNewWorker(@RequestBody Test jsonString) {

    //do business logic
    return test;
}

@RequestBody -Covert Json object to java

@ResponseBody - convert Java object to json
