This commit introduces support for CORS in Spring Framework.
Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) is a mechanism that allows
many resources (e.g. fonts, JavaScript, etc.) on a web page to
be requested from another domain outside the domain from which
the resource originated. It is defined by the CORS W3C
recommandation (http://www.w3.org/TR/cors/).
A new annotation @CrossOrigin allows to enable CORS support
on Controller type or method level. By default all origins
("*") are allowed.
@RestController
public class SampleController {
@CrossOrigin
@RequestMapping("/foo")
public String foo() {
// ...
}
}
Various @CrossOrigin attributes allow to customize the CORS configuration.
@RestController
public class SampleController {
@CrossOrigin(origin = { "http://site1.com", "http://site2.com" },
allowedHeaders = { "header1", "header2" },
exposedHeaders = { "header1", "header2" },
method = RequestMethod.DELETE,
maxAge = 123, allowCredentials = "true")
@RequestMapping(value = "/foo", method = { RequestMethod.GET, RequestMethod.POST} )
public String foo() {
// ...
}
}
A CorsConfigurationSource interface can be implemented by HTTP request
handlers that want to support CORS by providing a CorsConfiguration
that will be detected at AbstractHandlerMapping level. See for
example ResourceHttpRequestHandler that implements this interface.
Global CORS configuration should be supported through ControllerAdvice
(with type level @CrossOrigin annotated class or class implementing
CorsConfigurationSource), or with XML namespace and JavaConfig
configuration, but this is not implemented yet.
