How to enable cross-origin resource sharing in MDM

Deprecated

The following introduce how to enable the cross-origin resource sharing support in MDM before consuming MDM REST resources.

Procedure

Stop your Tomcat server.
Browse to the file <TomcatPath>/webapps/talendmdm/WEB-INF/web.xml and open it.

Add the following web application filter:

<!-- CORS for development only -->
<filter>
   <filter-name>CorsFilter</filter-name>
   <filter-class>com.amalto.core.util.CorsFilter</filter-class>
   <init-param>
      <param-name>allowed-origin</param-name>
      <param-value>YOUR WEB APP URL</param-value>
   </init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
   <filter-name>CorsFilter</filter-name>
   <url-pattern>/services/rest/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

In the filter, "YOUR WEB APP URL" indicates the base URL of your web application as displayed in your web browser, for example, http://192.168.174.170:3000.

Because MDM REST services require authentication, this URL is mandatory and cannot use a wildcard (*).

Restart the Tomcat server.
Verify that the cross-origin resource sharing support is enabled successfully.
You can try to access an MDM resource from a web browser with developer tools and check that the following HTTP headers are sent back in the response body:
```
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true

 Access-Control-Allow-Headers: x-requested-with, Authorization, Content-Type

 Access-Control-Allow-Methods: POST, GET, OPTIONS, DELETE, PUT, PATCH

 Access-Control-Allow-Origin: YOUR WEB APP URL

 Access-Control-Max-Age: 3600
```
