$.ajax and JSONP. ParseError and Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token :

ajax, jquery, json

Solution

If you are using jsonp then the syntax is wrong

You need to return

myJsonMethod({"id":3,"login":"pepe","key":"0D1DBA4BE87E02D43E082F9AA1ECFDEB"});

and also add to your ajax request options

jsonp: false,
jsonpCallback: "myJsonMethod"

so

$.ajax({
    type : "Get",
    url :"http://XXXZZZ/Servlet/Login",
    data :"login="+login+"&password="+pass,
    dataType :"jsonp",
    jsonp: false,
    jsonpCallback: "myJsonMethod",
    success : function(data){
        alert(data);},
    error : function(httpReq,status,exception){
        alert(status+" "+exception);
    }
});

(and of-course fix the `success` as @voyager noted)

Problem

First of all, I've been looking for the answer to my problem in several topics and I couldn't find a solution that works with my code. I'm trying to get the answer from a servlet, if I go to `http://XXXZZZ/Servlet/Login?login=pepe&pass=1234` I receive valid JSON as expected: ``` {"id":3,"login":"pepe","key":"0D1DBA4BE87E02D43E082F9AA1ECFDEB"} ``` But when I try the same with $.ajax, I get 2 errors. ``` $.ajax({ type : "Get", url :"http://XXXZZZ/Servlet/Login", data :"login="+login+"&password="+pass, dataType :"jsonp", success : function(data){ alert(data);}, error : function(httpReq,status,exception){ alert(status+" "+exception); } }); ``` First error (in the popup window): ``` parsererror Error: jQuery17104145435250829905_1336514329291 was not called ``` Second error (in the Chrome console): ``` Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token : Login 1 ``` (And there is the JSON I'm waiting for). P.S. I have to use dataType : "jsonp", because if I use "json" I also have problems with the Cross-Domain.
