I added the following filter code to my project -
package com.package;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.Filter;
import javax.servlet.FilterChain;
import javax.servlet.FilterConfig;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.ServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
@Component
//@Slf4j
public class CORSFilter implements Filter {
private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(CORSFilter.class);
@Override
public void destroy() {
// Nothing to do
}
// @Autowired
// private SecureFrontEndConfiguration secureFrontEndConfiguration;
@Override
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
logger.error("Passing through Cors filter");
HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse) response;
res.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "https://some-domain-from-which-I-am-not-calling.com");
res.addHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Credentials", "true");
}
@Override
public void init(FilterConfig arg0) throws ServletException {
// Nothing to do
}
}
I verified by hitting the APIs that those two headers are appearing in the response headers -
However, when I host this on a domain and call from an application hosted on another domain, which is not the one I mentioned above against the header, I am still able to get a success response -
