Integration

I have created a soap web service in JDeveloper and installed it on my SOA server and then created an OSB proxy service for it. I can call this proxy successfully from SOAP UI, from a .net client application and from a classic asp web page. I have a developer in another dept. that wants to use my web service from javascript - using AJAX. I must admit I'm not very familiar with AJAX. He sent me his code and I have been searching and trying various ways to call my service from AJAX but they all fail with a 500 error - in the SOA log, I am seeing the error 'Unexpected EOF in prolog' everytime I try to call the service.

Here is the code that is calling the service (you can see many commented out attempts - and I have tried more than this - the webserver this code is running on is in the same domain as my SOA servers).

Any pointers or ideas would be greatly appreciated. I could upload a working call to the service in classic asp if that would help - for comparison. Thanks.
