Question

I encounter this problem :

I have a django (python) server that serve XML files on localhost:8000

I have a liferay project using tomcat on localhost:8080, that need to call this XML files (in javascript with ajax)

It call the files, but never get them.

What do I have to do for tomcat to get this file ?

Thanks by advance.

Edit:

here is my request :

$.ajax({
      type: 'GET',
      url: "http://127.0.0.1:8000/charger/entreprise/",
      dataType: "xml",
      crossDomain : true,
      success: function(xml){
            alert(xml);
        }
    });

here is my request header :

Host    127.0.0.1:8000
User-Agent  Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0
Accept  application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01
Accept-Language fr,fr-fr;q=0.8,en-us;q=0.5,en;q=0.3

Connection  keep-alive

Origin  http://localhost:8080

In fact, I wonder if the problem come from the javascript, I think its because of the servers.

After trying many solution that didn’t work, I finally have solved my problem
You guys were right, JSONP was the solution, even if I had to adapt it to django, and my specific problem, which was not easy at all.

Answer 1

you have to use JSONP (JSON Padding) to do cross domain AJAX requests. }

Refer to this link for info on JSONP

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/wa-aj-jsonp1/

And jquery also has JSONP feature. Check that out in jquery documentation
