How to call only method of a grails controller with JavaScript file?

Question

I have a JavaScript file that calls a method of the Grails controller by ajax , but I have to create the Login.gsp. I do not want to create this view.

Ext.Ajax.request({
 url: 'user/login', 
 params: {
   user: user,
   password: pass
 }
});

The method is called, but in Chrome console have the output:

POST localhost:8080/myapp/user/login 404 (Not Found)

You dont have to create a view for it. Add a "login" method in your UserController and return a JSON result

class UserController{

  def login(){
    //Your code...
    render result as JSON
  }
}

If you are using SpringSecurity make sure that the login method is accesible for non-authenticated users.

Thanks @agusluc, i resolved, I tried using the render(status: 200, text: "ok") and it worked : D

Glad to hear. My suggestion of rendering json content instead of a request with plain text is for take advantage of the grails validation messages and the i18n support while using AJAX
