Spring 4.2's native Global CORS support won

i am trying to switch to spring 4.2's native Global CORS support after i upgrade to spring-boot 1.3, but it seemed won't work with CAS filter process url(/login/cas).

Originally, i was using spring-boot 1.2.7 with spring 4.2 and spring-security 4.0.2, and using self made filtered based cors support. And either my own rest service or CAS ST validation URL worked well. After i upgraded to spring-boot 1.3 with coming in spring and spring-security version. It stopped working. After some digging, fixed this by AddFilterBefore. So filtered based CORS seemed work well too with spring-boot 1.3.0 + spring-security-cas.

However, i want to use native Global CORS, but it seemed the CAS ST validation URL(/login/cas) can't be recognized, though other rest endpoints are OK.

Please help.

The setup is quite straight forward.

@Configuration
public class CorsConfiguration {
    @Bean
    public WebMvcConfigurer corsConfigurer() {
        return new WebMvcConfigurerAdapter() {
            @Override
            public void addCorsMappings(CorsRegistry registry) {

                registry.addMapping("/**");
            }
        };
    }
}

And following are some trafic:

    Request URL:http://localhost:9000/login/cas?ticket=ST-1357-15aQrv93jGEUsQpQRF1P-cas01.example.org
    Request Method:GET
    Status Code:302 Found

    Server:Apache-Coyote/1.1
    X-Content-Type-Options:nosniff
    X-Frame-Options:DENY
    X-XSS-Protection:1; mode=block

and following are console errors:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://localhost:9000/login/cas?ticket=ST-1357-15aQrv93jGEUsQpQRF1P-cas01.example.org. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:8080' is therefore not allowed access.

CORS native support is done by default at Spring MVC HandlerMapping level, so it is expected that your CAS filter will not be CORS enabled, since it handles request earlier.

One option to consider is using the org.springframework.web.filter.CorsFilter we also provide with Spring Framework 4.2 with the AddFilterBefore approach.

Be aware that CorsConfiguration has not the same default configuration than @CrossOrigin or CorsRegistry, so you need to define most of the properties yourself, for example:

UrlBasedCorsConfigurationSource source = new UrlBasedCorsConfigurationSource();
    CorsConfiguration config = new CorsConfiguration();
    config.setAllowCredentials(true); // you USUALLY want this
    config.addAllowedOrigin("*");
    config.addAllowedHeader("*");
    config.addAllowedMethod("GET");
    config.addAllowedMethod("PUT");
    source.registerCorsConfiguration("/**", config);
    CorsFilter filter = new CorsFilter(source);
    // ...
