[GIS] what version of jetty the geoserver runs

geoserverjetty

In order to set CORS correctly in Geoserver, I have to download some jar files and then edit the web.xml file.

I have a really old version of Geoserver(2.1.3) that runs Jetty 6.8.1 and there are no jars for this version, at least according to this. I was thinking to upgrading to the latest Geoserver (2.8.0). What version of Jetty does it run? Will I find the right jars to implement the CORS setting?

You mean GeoServer 2.1.3 runs 6.1.8 (not 6.8.1), correct?

According to this source the included library is still Jetty 6.1.8.

It's very unlikely that you can add random jars to your jetty install and expect it to work - which seems to be case here.

The easiest solution (if you really can't be bothered to add a proxy script) is to download the latest version of jetty and add the GeoServer war file to it and then modify the web.xml file.

From http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.geoserver.user/42219

Put content of this archive http://shanbe.hezoun.com/cors.zip into the \webapps\geoserver\WEB-INF\classes folder.
use <filter-class>org.mortbay.servlets.CrossOriginFilter</filter-class> insteand of <filter-class>org.eclipse.jetty.servlets.CrossOriginFilter</filter-class>

You can put follwing conf. inside the \webapps\geoserver\web.xml to allow CORS requests from all domains:

<filter>
  <filter-name>cross-origin</filter-name>
  <filter-class>org.mortbay.servlets.CrossOriginFilter</filter-class>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>allowedOrigins</param-name>
    <param-value>*</param-value>
  </init-param>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>cross-origin</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

Restart the geoserver and it should work.
