Have to add the below configuration to your application’s web.xml and restart the tomcat if required.

 

<filter>

  <filter-class>org.apache.catalina.filters.CorsFilter</filter-class>

  <init-param>

    <param-name>cors.allowed.origins</param-name>

    <param-value>*</param-value>

  </init-param>

  <init-param>

    <param-name>cors.allowed.methods</param-name>

    <param-value>GET,POST,HEAD,OPTIONS,PUT</param-value>
