cannot get REST response using $.ajax()

Question

Below is my method

function getCurrentUserName() 
{
    $.ajax({ 
    type: "GET",
    url: "http://localhost:8099/rest/prototype/1/space/ds",
    crossDomain:true,
    dataType: "jsonp",  
    success: function(resp){  
        alert("Server said123:\n '" + resp.name + "'");  
        },
    error:function(e){
    alert("Error"+e)
    }
    });
    });
}

I am calling this on a button click , I do not see any alert , when i type the url on the browser I get the response in xml .but i do not get the response in the script. Can someone please help me with this ? Am i missing something here ? Thanks :)

Have you checked in the developer tools if the request is actually made? — Tim, Apr 22 '14 at 06:54
add error function to and put laert to check if error coming — Ehsan Sajjad, Apr 22 '14 at 06:55
yes the request is made its shown in the browser console . it returns [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 31ms] — user3559178, Apr 22 '14 at 06:55
can you show your controller method which process your request — pappu_kutty, Apr 22 '14 at 06:56
Does your server know how to handle `jsonp`? It needs to call the function name given as part of the query string with the response data, since it's just loading a script and not actually doing an AJAX request. — Tim, Apr 22 '14 at 06:58

@TheShellfishMeme can you please guide me how to check if my server knows to handle Jsonp .. can you give a snippet example — user3559178, Apr 22 '14 at 07:03
You can try alert("Error "+e.message); to get the exact error message. Then I think we can figure out some cause of the issue — Nirmal, Apr 22 '14 at 07:07
try like this: error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) { console.log(textStatus, errorThrown); } — Ehsan Sajjad, Apr 22 '14 at 07:09

Looks like a JSON parse error.

Try with the json instead of jsonp

function getCurrentUserName() 
{
    $.ajax({ 
    type: "GET",
    url: "http://localhost:8099/rest/prototype/1/space/ds",
    crossDomain:true,
    dataType: "json",  
    success: function(resp){  
        alert("Server said123:\n '" + resp.name + "'");  
        },
    error:function(e){
    alert("Error"+e)
    }
    });
    });
}

I get the same error .. the data returned by the rest call is in xml format . I need it in Json . I am also trying the below code '$.ajax({ type: 'GET', url: "http://localhost:8099/rest/prototype/1/space/ds", data: {}, dataType: "xml", success: function (xml){ var clientid = $(xml).find('avatarUrl').first().text(); alert(""+clientid); } });' – user3559178 Apr 22 '14 at 07:31
