Encountered a situation where updates and additions in IE show results in Chrome :D

// Extract category object and id from the parent
    $scope.addNewCategory = function (category, parentId) {
        $scope.resetError();
        category.parentId = parentId.id;

        $http.post('/guardian/springmvc/categories/addCategoryValue', category).success(function () {
            $scope.retriveCategoryValues(parentId);
            $scope.category.parentId = '';
            $scope.category.name = '';
            $scope.category.description = '';

        }).
            error(function (data, status, headers, config) {
                // execute this block if an error occurs asynchronously 
                // or server responds with an error status.
                $scope.setError('Could not add new category');
                console.log(data);
            });
    };

    // Extract category value object and id from the parent
    $scope.editCategoryValue = function (categoryValue, parentId) {
        $scope.resetError();
        categoryValue.id = categoryValue.id;
        categoryValue.parentId = parentId.id;
        $http.put('/guardian/springmvc/categories/updateCategoryValue', categoryValue).success(function () {
            $scope.retriveCategoryValues(parentId);
            $scope.categoryValue.parentId = '';
            $scope.categoryValue.id = '';
            $scope.categoryValue.name = '';
            $scope.categoryValue.description = '';
            $scope.editMode = false;
        }).
            error(function (data, status, headers, config) {
                // execute this block if an error occurs asynchronously
                // or server returns response with an error status.
                $scope.setError('Could not update category');
                console.log(data);
            });
    };

Refer to Rest Controller code provided below.

In Chrome, Insert and Update operations are functioning correctly.
