Calling Rest webservice using JQuery Ajax call , web service is returning JSON string

Question

I have made a Rest Web Service:

package org.jboss.samples.rs.webservices;


import javax.ws.rs.PathParam;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.GET         


        

Answer 1

I think that you are not returning a valid json: try something like:

  return  "{\"name\":\"unknown\", \"age\":-1}"

because this

{
    "name": "unknown",
    "age": -1
}

is a valid JSON (You must use ", not ') while this is not

{
    'name': 'unknown',
    'age': -1
}

You should also specify the datatype

 $.ajax({  
       type: "GET",  
       url: "http://localhost:8080/nagarro-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/MyRESTApplication/dealInfo/2",  
       dataType: "json",  
       success: function(resp){  
         // we have the response  
         alert("Server said123:\n '" + resp.name + "'");  
       },  
       error: function(e){  
         alert('Error121212: ' + e);  
       }  
     });
