cors filter

[Matthew Broadhead <ma...@nbmlaw.co.uk.INVALID>]

i cannot seem to get the CORS filter in Tomcat working
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/filter.html#CORS_Filter

i ended up creating a custom filter like the accepted answer in 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38354664/enable-cors-on-tomcat-8-0-30

also, every tutorial seems to set cors.allowed.origins to *. doesn't 
this defeat the whole purpose of CORS?  it should be set to list just 
the origins that are allowed to access the resource? otherwise your 
customers can get phished?

Regarding Tomcat filter, not sure, I most of the time end up doing my own
filter too.
Maybe, forward the email to tomcat mailing list too.

Yes, if you use * it defeats the purpose of the CORS protection.
