Question

I have developed WCF rest service and deployed it on a link that can be accessed via the browser because its action is “GET”.

I want to get that data using jQuery. I tried my best to get WCf get response using jQuery
but in vain. I also tried $.Ajax with ‘jsonp’ with no luck. Can any one help me?

The url is: http://www.lonestarus.com/AndroidApp/AndroidLocation.svc/RestService/getLatestLocation

You can check that url response by pasting url in browser.

You need to set Access-Control-Allow-Origin to value [*] in your response header.

this blog gives the more details how it can be done in WCF REST service

if you were to do this in Web API you could have just added

 Response.Headers.Add("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*")

calling the service using a fiddle

$(function() {

    $.ajax({
        url: "http://www.lonestarus.com/AndroidApp/AndroidLocation.svc/RestService/getLatestLocation",
        datatype: 'json',
        type : 'get',
        success: function(data) {
            debugger;

            var obj = data;
        }

    });

})​;​

I got the error

XMLHttpRequest cannot load
http://www.lonestarus.com/AndroidApp/AndroidLocation.svc/RestService/getLatestLocation.
Origin http://fiddle.jshell.net is not allowed by
Access-Control-Allow-Origin.
