The alert with “success” is not fired when i run this. I checked with firebug, and it tells me that ret is undefined. What does that mean?

function checkUni() {

var URL = "http://localhost:8080/GradSchoolApp/test.jsp";

var ret = $.getJSON(URL, function(data, textStatus) {
    alert("success");
});
}

EDIT:

this is the test.jsp btw

<%@ page language="java" contentType="application/json; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1" import="java.util.*, net.sf.json.JSONObject"%>

    The AJAX call did not work. A few points to check, is the URL correct? Did you check the application server log to see if the call has ever reached. Can you check firebug for the HTTP code if the AJAX call is successful?

    EDIT:

    (Changed from text/json to application/json) Thanks Bergi

    JSP:

    <%@ page contentType="application/json" %>

    Java Servlet:

    response.setContentType("application/json");
