Calling rest webservice using jquery ajax?

I tried couple of tutorial to call rest web-service using jQuery ajax call, but I am not getting the response.

But When I directly hitting the url in browser I am getting the response ,but unable to get same json response using ajax call,always going in the error block. (tomcat is running on port 8888)

http://localhost:8888/WebService_2/rest/webservice

WebSerivce Class.

package com.app.rest;

import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;

@Path("/webservice")
public class WebSerivce {

    @GET
    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    public String getResponse(){
        return "Web Service Response Call " ;
    }
}

web.xml

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>jersey-serlvet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages</param-name>

        </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>


<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>jersey-serlvet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Got the answer after some google... I have used the google jar for JSON conversion
