org.restlet.engine.application.CorsFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Uniform

public class CorsFilter
extends Filter

Filter that helps support CORS requests. This filter lets the target resources specify the allowed methods. Example:

 Router router = new Router(getContext());
 
 CorsFilter corsFilter = new CorsFilter(getContext(), router);
 corsFilter.setAllowedOrigins(new HashSet(Arrays.asList("http://server.com")));
 corsFilter.setAllowedCredentials(true);

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
protected void	afterHandle(Request request, Response response) Add CORS headers to response
protected int	beforeHandle(Request request, Response response) Skip the call to the server resource if the skippingResourceForCorsOptions is true and if the current request use the OPTIONS method and is a CORS request.
Set<String>	getAllowedHeaders() Returns the modifiable set of headers allowed by the actual request on the current resource. Note that when used with HTTP connectors, this property maps to the "Access-Control-Allow-Headers" header.

boolean	isAllowAllRequestedHeaders() If true, indicates that the value of 'Access-Control-Request-Headers' request header will be copied into the 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' response header.
boolean	isAllowedCredentials() If true, adds 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' header.
boolean	isSkippingResourceForCorsOptions() If true, the filter does not call the server resource for OPTIONS method of CORS request and set Access-Control-Allow-Methods header with DEFAULT_ALLOWED_METHODS.

Field Detail

allowAllRequestedHeaders

public boolean allowAllRequestedHeaders

If true, copies the value of 'Access-Control-Request-Headers' request header into the 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' response header. If false, use allowedHeaders. Default is true.

Constructor Detail

CorsFilter

public CorsFilter()

Constructor.

CorsFilter

public CorsFilter(Context context)

Constructor.

Parameters:

context - The context.

CorsFilter

public CorsFilter(Context context,
          Restlet next)

Constructor.

Parameters:

context - The context.

next - The next Restlet.

Method Detail

beforeHandle

protected int beforeHandle(Request request,
               Response response)

Skip the call to the server resource if the skippingResourceForCorsOptions is true and if the current request use the OPTIONS method and is a CORS request.

Overrides:

beforeHandle in class Filter

Parameters:

request - The request to handle.

response - The response to update.

Returns:

The continuation status. Either Filter.CONTINUE or Filter.SKIP or Filter.STOP.

afterHandle

protected void afterHandle(Request request,
               Response response)

Add CORS headers to response

Overrides:

afterHandle in class Filter

Parameters:

request - The request to handle.

response - The response

getAllowedHeaders

public Set<String> getAllowedHeaders()

Returns the modifiable set of headers allowed by the actual request on the current resource.
Note that when used with HTTP connectors, this property maps to the "Access-Control-Allow-Headers" header.

Returns:

The set of headers allowed by the actual request on the current resource.

getAllowedOrigins

public Set<String> getAllowedOrigins()

Returns the URI an origin server allows for the requested resource. Use "*" as a wildcard character.
Note that when used with HTTP connectors, this property maps to the "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" header.

Returns:

The origin allowed by the requested resource.

getCorsResponseHelper

protected CorsResponseHelper getCorsResponseHelper()

Returns a lazy-initialized instance of CorsResponseHelper.

getExposedHeaders

public Set<String> getExposedHeaders()

Returns a modifiable whitelist of headers an origin server allows for the requested resource.
Note that when used with HTTP connectors, this property maps to the "Access-Control-Expose-Headers" header.

Returns:

The set of headers an origin server allows for the requested resource.

isAllowAllRequestedHeaders

public boolean isAllowAllRequestedHeaders()

If true, indicates that the value of 'Access-Control-Request-Headers' request header will be copied into the 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' response header. If false, use allowedHeaders.

isAllowedCredentials

public boolean isAllowedCredentials()

If true, adds 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' header.

Returns:

True, if the 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' header will be added.

isSkippingResourceForCorsOptions

public boolean isSkippingResourceForCorsOptions()

If true, the filter does not call the server resource for OPTIONS method of CORS request and set Access-Control-Allow-Methods header with DEFAULT_ALLOWED_METHODS. Default is false.

Returns:

True if the filter does not call the server resource for OPTIONS method of CORS request.

setAllowingAllRequestedHeaders
