Can't call WCF service from jQuery - wcf

Question

Thou there a dozen posts that cover how to call WCF methods from jQuery, I can't make it work. I have simple WCF service application
[ServiceContract]
public interface IService1
{
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "GET", BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.WrappedRequest, RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
string GetData(int value);
}
This is the implementation
[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
public class Service1 : IService1
{
public string GetData(int value)
{
return string.Format("You entered: {0}", value);
}
}
And this is the web.config of my service
<system.serviceModel>
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="TestWebApp.Service1AspNetAjaxBehavior">
<enableWebScript />
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="TestWebApp.Service1AspNetAjaxBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true"
multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
<services>
<service name="jQueryToWCF.Service1">
<endpoint address=""
behaviorConfiguration="TestWebApp.Service1AspNetAjaxBehavior"
binding="webHttpBinding"
contract="jQueryToWCF.IService1" />
</service>
</services>
Now I'm trying to call this from jQuery ( from html page )
$(document).ready(function () {
var param = "{value: 'Hello World!'}";
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "http://localhost:5555/Service1.svc/GetData",
data: param,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (result) {
alert(result.d);
}
});
});
But no call even makes to Service. I checked it up by Fiddler. But when I'm puting the url into browser, I can get the response. Can anybody help me to figure this out ?

I've been struggling off and on with this for awhile.
The page that finally got me moving was this one: http://forums.asp.net/t/1765610.aspx/1
Meanwhile: Here is a functional project file that should work. You may need to replace the url in the javascript to be the correct port #.
