apache tomcat catalina as maven dependency for CORS filter

Question

I\'m using org.apache.catalina.filters.CorsFilter in my webapp. So I specify the maven dependency

    org.apache.tomcat         


        

Answer 1

This worked for me:

        
            org.apache.tomcat
            tomcat-catalina
            7.0.42
            provided
        

Trying 7.0.50 also worked. Can you double-check that there are no competing jar file versions lying around? Perhaps there is an older version without the class actually getting used by the JVM. Under Linux, "ls -l /proc/$CATALINA_PID/fd", may show which jar file is being used.

Also make sure to run this in a recent enough version of the Tomcat server.
