You need to remove the semi-colon on line 18. Otherwise the if statement seems to magically always be called.

you're extending OncePerRequestFilter, but where is it?

@beneloper "import org.springframework.web.filter.OncePerRequestFilter;"

if (request.getHeader("Access-Control-Request-Method") != null && "OPTIONS".equals(request.getMethod()));
from the above code, why did you put semi-colon at the end of the if statement? That semi-colon confused me a lot.

and why did you surrounded other codes with {}?
{
// CORS "pre-flight" request
response.addHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "GET, POST, PUT, DELETE");
response.addHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Authorization");
response.addHeader("Access-Control-Max-Age", "1728000");
}
like this...

it looks like that codes in the {} belong to the if statement...
So much confusing code because of the "semi-colon" after the if statement's condition...

Did you do that for any purpose? or just a mistake? I still don't understand..

I think the ; after the if is a typo just as Coris instead of Cors in the name.

Simply adding this class doesn't solve the problem.
