javascript ajax call to MVC controller to return EmptyResult

Question

This seems like it should be easy to do, but after hours of trying different combinations I haven't had any success.

All I want to do is call the following MVC controller EndSession from javascript:

C#

[HttpGet]
public virtual ActionResult EndSession()
{
    Session.Abandon();
    return new EmptyResult();
}

Here is the js:

JavaScript

function SessionTimeOutHandler() {
    $.ajax({
        url: "/Home/EndSession",
        type: 'Get',
        success: function (result) {
            if (result.success) {
            }
        }
    });
}

I've set a break point on Session.Abondon(), and it is never reached. Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Did you check whether the SessionTimeOutHandler() method is getting called at all? because when I added a button as below it's working fine for me if I click the button!

<input type="submit" onclick="javascript:SessionTimeOutHandler();" value="Log Off" />

Thank you for the response...
Yes, if I set a break point, it does hit the SessionTimeOutHandler. It isn't routing the request properly. If I put the full URL, it works as expected. I've tried both "/Home/EndSession" and "~/Home/EndSession" and neither of those work.

full URL means which one? what are you returning in result object? What's your expected output?

I'm accepting your solution. You are correct, it works as coded. My problem was with route resolution, I corrected url: "/Home/EndSession" and it works correctly. Thank you.
