I'm trying to call a method in Spring (3.2.0) via AJAX using the following jQuery 1.6.

Code:
function updateRoleEnabled(id)
{
    $.ajax({
            datatype:"json",                        
            type: "PUT",
            url: "/wagafashion/ajax/UpdateUserRole.htm",
            data: "id="+id+"&t="+new Date().getTime(),
            success: function(response)
            {
            },
            error: function(e)
            {
                alert('Error: ' + e);
            }
    });
}
It attempts to invoke the following method in Spring.

Code:
@RequestMapping(value=("ajax/UpdateUserRole"), method=RequestMethod.PUT)
public @ResponseBody void updateUserRole(@RequestParam(value=("id")) String id)
{
    System.out.println("id = "+id);
}
FireFox responds with the following error.

HTTP Status 405 - Request method 'GET' not supported
It works with the GET and POST methods and JSON (1.9.8) also works fine in other parts of the application. Also, it works very well with the Spring framework 3.0.2 which I was working earlier with.



If you need to see the dispatcher-servlet.xml file, the full contents is as follows.
