I am building an Angular 4 app which interacts with Camunda process using REST APIs. Trying to login, facing CORS error.
Dockerfile:
FROM camunda/camunda-bpm-platform:tomcat-latest
ADD sample.war /camunda/webapps/sample.war
COPY ./web.xml /camunda/webapps/engine-rest/WEB-INF
Running it like:
docker build -t camunda-eval .
docker run -d --name camunda -p 8080:8080 <image>
Error in the console:
Failed to load http://localhost:8080/camunda/api/admin/auth/user/default/login/tasklist: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:4200' is therefore not allowed access.
My web.xml looks like this:
<web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"

xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">

Any ideas on how to fix this?
You are getting this error because "localhost:4200" and "localhost:8080" are not the same machine when it comes to CORS.
In general, you have 3 ways to avoid this:
chromium-browser --disable-web-security --user-data-dir
) - this is the fastest if you just want to play around, but of course no production solution
