Today I am going to review what needs to be done to use JQuery to work with those WCF end points.

In the case you've presented, a RESTful solution seems more appropriate. I appreciate the need to call WCF from the client (and I appreciate your example), but given the problem you've solved, would you really use WCF in practice? rp Twitter Trackbacks for Chris Love's Official ASP.NET Blog : Using JQuery and JSON to Interact with a WCF Service via AJAX [professionalaspnet.com] on Topsy.com http://professionalaspnet.com/archive/2010/02/08/Using-JQuery-and-JSON-to-Interact-with-a-WCF-Service-via-AJAX.aspx#69074Mon, 08 Feb 2010 18:09:01 GMT9f8c9708-cda3-4e3e-8e5b-ee2a54f50e19:69074 Twitter Trackbacks for Chris Love's Official ASP.NET Blog : Using JQuery and JSON to Interact with a WCF Service via AJAX [professionalaspnet.com] on Topsy.com PingBack from http://topsy.com/tb/professionalaspnet.com/archive/2010/02/08/Using-JQuery-and-JSON-to-Interact-with-a-WCF-Service-via-AJAX.aspxre: Using JQuery and JSON to Interact with a WCF Service via AJAXhttp://professionalaspnet.com/archive/2010/02/08/Using-JQuery-and-JSON-to-Interact-with-a-WCF-Service-via-AJAX.aspx#69171Tue, 09 Feb 2010 12:41:57 GMT9f8c9708-cda3-4e3e-8e5b-ee2a54f50e19:69171Chris Love<p>Roger your point is taken, but when your client does not want to use REST (aka ADO.NET Data Services) your solution will not work ;)</p> WCF and jQuery Exception Handlinghttp://professionalaspnet.com/archive/2010/02/08/Using-JQuery-and-JSON-to-Interact-with-a-WCF-Service-via-AJAX.aspx#72917Thu, 18 Feb 2010 17:37:47 GMT9f8c9708-cda3-4e3e-8e5b-ee2a54f50e19:72917Chris Love's Official ASP.NET Blog<p>Now that I have covered the basics of calling a WCF service using jQuery&amp;rsquo;s AJAX functionality with</p> re: Using JQuery and JSON to Interact with a WCF Service via AJAXhttp://professionalaspnet.com/archive/2010/02/08/Using-JQuery-and-JSON-to-Interact-with-a-WCF-Service-via-AJAX.aspx#99602Wed, 12 May 2010 00:44:50 GMT9f8c9708-cda3-4e3e-8e5b-ee2a54f50e19:99602Mike M.I appreciate the good info in the post. But what happens when includeExceptionDetailInFaults is set to false in order to avoid security concerns in production (as recommended by Microsoft)? Ultimately I'm looking for a good way to get "enough" exception detail back to the browser so that a user can be guided on where to go next. Any ideas?
