How to configure CORS in ACS 6.2.2?

[jmal]

Hi, 

I have an instance of the Alfresco Content Services 6.2.2 (Enterprise).

I'm trying to configure CORS like in previous ACS versions.

As follows in web.xml: 

<filter>
    <filter-name>CORS</filter-name>
    <filter-class>com.thetransactioncompany.cors.CORSFilter</filter-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>cors.allowGenericHttpRequests</param-name>
        <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>cors.allowOrigin</param-name>
        <param-value>http://localhost:8081,http://myapp.example.com</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>cors.allowSubdomains</param-name>
        <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>cors.supportedMethods</param-name>
        <param-value>GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>cors.supportedHeaders</param-name>
        <param-value>origin, authorization, x-file-size, x-file-name, content-type, accept, x-file-type, range</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>cors.exposedHeaders</param-name>
        <param-value>Accept-Ranges, Content-Encoding, Content-Length, Content-Range</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>cors.supportsCredentials</param-name>
        <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
         <param-name>cors.maxAge</param-name>
         <param-value>3600</param-value>
    </init-param>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>CORS</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/api/*</url-pattern>
    <url-pattern>/service/*</url-pattern>
    <url-pattern>/s/*</url-pattern>
    <url-pattern>/cmisbrowser/*</url-pattern>
    <url-pattern>/definitions/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

In documentation (6.1) https://docs.alfresco.com/6.1/tasks/enable-cors.html but in https://docs.alfresco.com/6.2/concepts/welcome.html I can't find section about CORS configuration.

When I put it into my web.xml I got an exception while start ACS:

SEVERE: Exception starting filter [CORS]

Is possible to configure CORS in ACS 6.2.2? 

How to achieve this?

Did you try this one?

Thank you! I will try this one.

I didn't notice that the enabling-cors section had moved
