Adding response header to Jetty config file

jetty

I am trying to add a response header to the Jetty configuration the following command,

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

Ok so this Jetty webserver is the base on which Geoserver is running. I asked this question in the GIS forum but no one was able to answer it so I felt I might get the answer here. I wish to add this response to the header to remove the error

Unable to load XMLHttpRequest

I wish to know that under which tags should I wrap this response header and where in the file should I save it.

My preference is to add headers in a proxying web server. If you have Apache HTTP infront of your Jetty instance then use the Header directive.

In answer to the question, to perform this purely in Jetty see setting-http-headers-with-jetty

Take a look at the full example here:

The above is Web archive link, original link is now unavailable:

Programmatic configuration example from the above:

import org.mortbay.jetty.security.*;

Server server = new Server();

Connector connector = new SelectChannelConnector();
connector.setPort(8080);
server.setConnectors(new Connector[]{connector});

Constraint constraint = new Constraint();
constraint.setName(Constraint.__BASIC_AUTH);;
constraint.setRoles(new String[]{"user","admin","moderator"});
constraint.setAuthenticate(true);

ConstraintMapping cm = new ConstraintMapping();
cm.setConstraint(constraint);
cm.setPathSpec("/*");

SecurityHandler sh = new SecurityHandler();
sh.setUserRealm(new HashUserRealm("MyRealm",System.getProperty("jetty.home")+"/etc/realm.properties"));
sh.setConstraintMappings(new ConstraintMapping[]{cm});

WebAppContext webappcontext = new WebAppContext();
webappcontext.setContextPath("/mywebapp");
webappcontext.setWar("./path/to/my/war/orExplodedwar");
webappcontext.addHandler(sh);

HandlerCollection handlers= new HandlerCollection();
handlers.setHandlers(new Handler[]{webappcontext, new DefaultHandler()});

server.setHandler(handlers);
server.start();
server.join();

NullPointerException on jetty 7 startup with jetty deployment descriptor

my guess is, you have an additional slash. replace

<Set name="war"><SystemProperty name="jetty.home" default="."/>/webapps-plus/webapp.war</Set>

with

<Set name="war"><SystemProperty name="jetty.home" default=".">/webapps-plus/webapp.war</Set>
