[2.1.1-Java] ClosedChannelException on Ajax Post request

[arv...@eventbeat.in]

I am facing a simple but serious issue, need your help in resolving it. 

When i issue an AJAX post request from client side to play framework, i get a play - java.nio.channels.ClosedChannelException in the logs. 

I have created a sample play project to highlight the issue. You can see the sample project in https://github.com/arvindbatra/playTest

The javascript that calls the POST request is - https://github.com/arvindbatra/playTest/blob/master/public/javascripts/main.js

Inside the controller, all logs are printed but after the ok(...) is returned, the logs has the following stack trace - 

[trace] play - Invoking action with request: POST /addinterest

[info] application - wonder

[info] application - Returning {"status":"ok"}

[trace] play - Sending simple result: SimpleResult(200, Map(Content-Type -> application/json; charset=utf-8, Set-Cookie -> ))

[debug] play - java.nio.channels.ClosedChannelException

[trace] application - Exception caught in Netty

java.nio.channels.ClosedChannelException: null

I had posted yesterday on an older thread, my apologies for multiple posting. But this time, i have reduced the clutter and reduced the problem scope to what it is. (Earlier in my actual app i was calling a webservice from the controller and i thought that the issue may be because of this webservice, but as the above example highlights, it is not the case). 

Please let me know if i am doing something wrong? Any workaround would also be highly appreciated. 

Thank you!
