Can you completely disable CORS support in Spring?

Question

As described in CORS preflight request fails due to a standard header if you send requests to OPTIONS endpoints with the Origin and Access-Control-Request-Method headers set then they get intercepted by the Spring framework, and your method does not get executed. The accepted solution is the use @CrossOrigin annotations to stop Spring returning a 403. However, I am generating my API code with Swagger Codegen and so I just want to disable this and implement my OPTIONS responses manually.

So can you disable the CORS interception in Spring?

Answer 1

From their documentation:

If you are using Spring Web MVC

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
public class WebConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {

    @Override
    public void addCorsMappings(CorsRegistry registry) {
        registry.addMapping("/**")
                .allowedMethods("HEAD", "GET", "PUT", "POST", "DELETE", "PATCH");
    }
}

If you are using Spring Boot:

@Configuration
public class MyConfiguration {

    @Bean
    public WebMvcConfigurer corsConfigurer() {
        return new WebMvcConfigurerAdapter() {
            @Override
            public void addCorsMappings(CorsRegistry registry) {
                registry.addMapping("/**")
                        .allowedMethods("HEAD", "GET", "PUT", "POST", "DELETE", "PATCH");
            }
        };
    }
}

Yuriy Yunikov answer is correct as well. But I don't like the "custom" filter.

In case you have Spring Web Security which causes you trouble. Check this SO Answer.
