How to call Apex REST API from Javascript?

Hi,

 

I have two different developer orgs. One contains apex REST web service, and I want to call that REST service from my second org. I have tried to call that REST service using normal ajax post request and forcetk.js, But I got following error

 

XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://ap1.salesforce.com/services/apexrest/CustomSettings. Origin https://c.ap1.visual.force.com is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

 

I searched about this problem then I got to know that Salesforce never allows CORS (Cross-Origin-Resource-Sharing).

 

Initially I was using apex to call that REST web service, that time I was able to post data from apex. But as we have callout limitation in salesforce, I want to use javascript.

 

Please help me.

 

Thanks.

Here I'm pasting my code for reference

 

 

var result = sforce.connection.login("myname@mymail.com", "mypassword+mysecurityToken");
sforce.connection.init('{!sessionId}', 'REST web service url');

// here pass current session id of the org from which you are making request.

 

sforce.connection.remoteFunction({
          url : REST web service url,
          requestHeaders: {"Authorization":"Bearer "+result.sessionId, "Content-Type":"application/json"},

          // here pass the session id of the org in which you have your REST service
          requestData: data to post in JSON format,
          method: "POST",
          onSuccess : function(response) {
                    console.log(response);
          },
          onFailure : function(response) {
                    alert("Failed" + response)
          }
});
