Jetty Cross Origin Filter

Question

I've configured Jetty's cross origin filter, but I continue to get the following error. Does anyone know what is wrong and how to fix it? Below the error message is my override descriptor (i.e. supplemental web.xml)

Error:

Origin http://localhost:8090 is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

Override Descriptor:

Answer 1

Aloha,

I fought this for awhile as well, and found that the final node needs to be:

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>cross-origin</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

NOT

<filter-mapping>
     <filter-name>cross-origin</filter-name>
     <filter-pattern>/*</filter-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

Here is the link I found to help me: wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty/Feature/Cross_Origin_Filter

After I updated my web.xml file and restarted the jetty server, I was able to make cross domain request using jQuery ajax calls.
