Getting HTTP-403 Popup - on clicking - any main menu button (Home/Library/View/Create...), while report is running.

Problem Statement:

Encountering  HTTP 403 pop on clicking any main menu button (Home, Manage, Create etc.) right after viewing a report when CORS filter is implemented.

Solution:

Instead of using the Apache CORS filter, use the third party CORS filter that is currently known to work.

http://software.dzhuvinov.com/cors-filter-installation.html

The CORS filter is a component outside of the JasperReports Server product and is not supplied by JasperSoft out-of-the-box. You will need to investigate and determine what the legal and other ramifications are for including the third party jars in your installation. The website referrred to above states:

The CORS Filter is offered as free open source software under an integration friendly Apache 2.0 license.

You can still follow the Apache CORS filter directions for the parameters:

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/filter.html#CORS_Filter

but with the following changes:

Replace

<filter>
    <filter-name>CorsFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.apache.catalina.filters.CorsFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>CorsFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

With

<filter>
    <filter-name>CORS</filter-name>
    <filter-class>com.thetransactioncompany.cors.CORSFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>CORS</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

Add the 2 jars provided in the third party link to WEB-INF/lib and restart JasperReports Server.
