CORS and WebSphere | Dougclectica Rebooted

Cross-origin Resource Sharing I won’t try to explain CORS, but in summary, browsers, by default, don’t allow JavaScript to make HTTP requests to domains other than the one the JavaScript was loaded from, and CORS is a way for servers to say that some domains are expected to make such “cross-origin” requests to them.

Rereading, I guess the "solution" we used isn't really less fiddly than the "return 200 on OPTIONS" one, and both depend on there even being a web server in front of WebSphere/Spring. Which won't be the case in a new architecture we're considering. So... another approach will have to be used at that time anyway.
