exception in parsing the request after pre-flight request using jersey

Question

We have created the CORS filter as follows:

@Provider
public class CORSFilter implements ContainerResponseFilter {

    @Override
    public void filter(ContainerRequestContext request,
        ContainerResponseContext response) throws IOException {

        // TODO: Allow only from *our* Web front 
        response.getHeaders().add("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
        response.getHeaders().add("Access-Control-Allow-Headers",
            "origin, content-type, accept,x-request-id, x-api-key, x-api-secret, authorization");
        response.getHeaders().add("Access-Control-Allow-Credentials", "true");
        response.getHeaders().add("Access-Control-Allow-Methods",
            "GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS, HEAD");
    }
}

We have created a REST resource

Following is the code:

@Path("MyResource")
@POST
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public String MyResource(TestInput input) {
    return input.getName();
}

The class TestInput is as follows:

public class TestInput {
    private String name;

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}

It produces the result as expected from Postman. But if we hit the resource from http://resttesttest.com/ or any client, following error occurs:

preflight request is handled by returning if cors header is present.

Please guide me on this. Thanks in advance.

I think there's nothing wrong with your ContainerResquestFilter. What you need to do only update your TestInput class and add the following annotation on it.

@XmlRootElement
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class TestInput {

    @XmlElement
    private String name;

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}
