Here is my Ajax code:

    var myJSONObject = {bindings: [

                                     {ircEvent: PRIVMSG, method: newURI, regex: ^http://.*}]

                             };

    $.ajax({

        url : ships,

        data : myJSONObject,

        success : function(data){

            GLOBAL.player.startShooting(data);

        },

        error : function(data) {

            console.log(error:, data);

        },

        dataType : json,

        timeout : 30000,

        type : post

    });

And here is my Java Servlet code:

protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,

        HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

    System.out.println(im in PSOT);

    System.out.println(request.getParameter(myJSONObject));



    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

    BufferedReader br = request.getReader();

    String str;

    while( (str = br.readLine()) != null ){

        sb.append(str);

    }   

    System.out.println(sb.toString());

    response.setContentType(application/json);

    response.getWriter().write({key:hello,key2:world});

}

The Java servlet returns my Hello World object, but i CANNOT read data in Java Servlet
The console prints out the following:

im in PSOT

null

The last line is an empty string from last println.

I am using Tomcat 7

Can anyone please tell me what i am doing wrong and why i cannot read data in Java Servlet_
