The standalone distributions of GeoServer include the Jetty application server. Enable Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) to allow JavaScript applications outside of your own domain to use GeoServer.

Uncomment the following and from webapps/geoserver/WEB-INF/web.xml:

  
      cross-origin
      org.eclipse.jetty.servlets.CrossOriginFilter
  
  
      cross-origin
