Answer 1

Found that passing authentication via headers is not working with jQuery ajax with jsonp data type. So tried following and works fine.

$.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: "http://tomcat:tomcat@localhost:1222/testservice/rest/test/users",
    dataType:"jsonp",
    success: function(res) {
        alert(res); 
    },
    error: function(err) {
        alert(err);
    }
});  

function callbackMethod(data) {
    alert(data);
}
