CORS support for Apache CXF 2.4 (JAX-RS 1.1)

Question

I'm looking for an open source implementation of CORS for Apache CXF 2.4.x (JAX-RS 1.1) like the CrossOriginResourceSharingFilter (Apache CXF >2.5.0).

Unfortunately I can't update Apache CXF because of JBoss 7.1.1, which uses Apache CXF 2.4.6.

Answer 1

I found a Workaround. I added

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
    <artifactId>cxf-rt-rs-security-cors</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.3</version>
</dependency>

and I replaced

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
    <artifactId>cxf-common-utilities</artifactId>
    <version>2.4.6</version>
</dependency>

with

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
    <artifactId>cxf-common-utilities</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.3</version>
</dependency>

All my tests passed and I hope that cxf-common-utilities is backward compatible.
