Question

I am trying to access a restful web service using jQuery Ajax but getting following error:
XML Parsing Error: no element found Location: moz-nullprincipal:{cefa3a59-2437-454f-b39a-384cf1fdf072} Line Number 1, Column 1:

This how I am making the call:

function getResponse(){
       $.ajax( {
       type:'Get',
       dataType:'xml',
       url:'http://localhost:8080/RestTest/restservice/number',
       success:function(data) {
        alert(data);
     }
   } );
}

Here my response data type is xml.
I understand that there is some cross domain issue but not sure how to resolve it. Please help me on this.

Answer 1

Use getJSON

$.ajax({
url: url,
dataType: 'json',
data: data,
success: callback
});
