        resp = "<textarea  rows='10'cols='100'>" + "Request failed, please try again." + "</textarea>";

To send an Ajax post request, you could use this :

$.ajax({
     type: "POST",
     url: "submit.htm",
     data: { name: "John", location: "Boston" } // parameters
})

And in Spring MVC the controller:

@RequestMapping(value = "/submit.htm", method = RequestMethod.POST,produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
public @ResponseBody
String Submit(@RequestParam("name") String name,@RequestParam("location") String location) {
    // your logic here
    return resp;
}
