JENA-1294

I've put in a fixed setup activated by "--cors" - I'd be obliged if people would try it out and let us know if it works.

It's in the latest development build #1834.

    Thanks

Hi all,

I enabled CORS on embedded Fuseki (when handling YASGUI SPARQL requests) and wanted to share the way I did it for others' benefit. It took me a while to figure out how to do this. I found instructions on how to enable CORS via the web.xml, but the embedded Fuseki does not use a web.xml (as far as I am aware). I also found a lot of examples on how to add the CORS filter in Jetty when you control when filters are added. The code at the end of the email enables it in my setup.

You are correct - Fuseki main is not a webapp, no war file.
Fuseki Full, a webapp, does put the CORS filter in.

I thought that servlet filters got added before the Fuseki main filter but it sounds like that is not your experience. That would be a bug. Could you file a JIRA please? As your code show, getting the order right is ... a bit opaque.

The complication is that the Fuseki filter catches "/*" (any URL) because the valid names can change as datasets are added to registry which is possible at run time.

It might need both "before" and "after" filters.

And/or : It might be a good idea to have an "enableCORS" setting to the Fuseki Server builder which will need its own configuration.

Some remarks:
- as far as I could see, Fuseki builder does not allow custom filters to be chained/configured before the FusekiFilter (which intercepts all traffic to datasets). - adding the CORS filter after the FusekiFilter does not work in case of a SPARQL request to a particular dataset, because FusekiFilter intercepts its and prevents it from continuing through the filter chain. - the above two remarks forced me to add the CORS filter directly to the Jetty Server, however, it does not allow insertion of filters before other filters, it only supports adding it to the end of the chain. - After succeeding to add my filter before the FusekiFilter, it still did not work, because (after some searching) a FilterMapping (to a particular path) is also required. - So, the not so elegant code below retrieves both the filters and the filtermappings and inserts the filter (and filtermapping) before the FusekiFilter.

Maybe someone can check whether there is an easier way to enable it and hopefully it saves somebody a few hours in the future!

Regards, Barry
