The response headers that you set in your application -- when security is not enabled 00 works just fine, as you've attested to. However, when security is enabled, your cross-domain requests fail.
This is likely due to the additional Filter and additional response headers that are set by the security filter in order to generate a response.
To solve this problem, the high level solution is that you must set your response headers prior to the time that the security Filter sets its response headers and/or commits them to the client.
You're also using Jetty; therefore, you can use the Jetty Cross Origin Filter to ensure that the response headers are set in the Filter chain, in the order that they need to be set:
Here is a list of parameters that you can pass into the Filter configuration in web.xml:
allowedOrigins, a comma separated list of origins that are allowed to access the resources. Default value is *, meaning all origins
allowedMethods, a comma separated list of HTTP methods that are allowed to be used when accessing the resources. Default value is GET,POST
allowedHeaders, a comma separated list of HTTP headers that are allowed to be specified when accessing the resources. Default value is X-Requested-With
preflightMaxAge, the number of seconds that preflight requests can be cached by the client. Default value is 1800 seconds, or 30 minutes
allowCredentials, a boolean indicating if the resource allows requests with credentials. Default value is false
By default, the Allowed Origins response header is set to *
, which implies that by default, any request can be made from any domain. You'll need to be sure to modify this to allow only domains that you intend to whitelist, assuming you don't want every request from all domains to be valid:
web.xml entry for the Filter:
<web-app ...>
...
<filter>
<filter-name>cross-origin</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.eclipse.jetty.servlets.CrossOriginFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>cross-origin</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
...
</web-app>
