How to make Apache Tomcat accept DELETE method

Question

I\'m working on a project of RESTful web services, i\'m using Apache Tomcat and JAX-RS.

I want to accept DELETE requests from client but whenever i send a DELETE req

Answer 1

Tomcat was blocking DELETE methods for me because of my CORS filters.

I needed new filters registered in my web.xml file. Here's an example of a very permissive one:

    CorsFilter
    org.apache.catalina.filters.CorsFilter
    
        cors.allowed.headers
        Accept,Accept-Encoding,Accept-Language,Access-Control-Request-Method,Access-Control-Request-Headers,Authorization,Connection,Content-Type,Host,Origin,Referer,Token-Id,User-Agent, X-Requested-With
    
    
        cors.allowed.origins
        *
    
    
        cors.allowed.methods
        GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS, HEAD
    


    CorsFilter
