Freeman Fang commented on CXF-4805: ----------------------------------- Hi Benson, I think in some scenario cxf endpoint can handle request from local browser is useful, especially for some demos, let customer open a local browser and edit a soap message and send it out and see the response from same browser page is convenient. For the CORS issue, I generally add a out interceptor for the cxf endpoint in demos, something like {code} public class EnableCORSInterceptor extends AbstractPhaseInterceptor<Message> { public EnableCORSInterceptor() { super(Phase.PRE_PROTOCOL); } @Override public void handleMessage(Message message) throws Fault { Map<String, List<String>> headers = Headers.getSetProtocolHeaders(message); try { //Access-Control-Allow-Origin:* Access-Control-Allow-Methods:POST,GET headers.put("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", Arrays.asList("*")); headers.put("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", Arrays.asList("POST", "GET")); } catch (Exception ce) { throw new Fault(ce); } } } {code} This can make browser send/receive soap message to/from CXF endpoint.

The browser sent the required OPTIONS ahead > of the POST, and CXF went ahead and tried to handle it as if it was a SOAP > request, and then got very sad trying to parse the empty payload as XML. > Shouldn't CXF have produced a clear log message and error response about not > understanding OPTIONS? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
