Hi all,

Is there a way to enable CORS at server level somehow, as some param when servers start, or in some config file?

I know I can use custom ContainerResponseFilterfilter

> <https://github.com/payara/Payara-Examples/blob/master/demo-applications/kubernetes-example/backend/src/main/java/fish/payara/examples/kubernetes/backend/CorsFilter.java>

but wondering is there some other way?

Hi @JeeDev_User,

There is no explicit way to enable CORS at the server level. However, you can configure it through [web.xml](https://www.w3.org/wiki/CORS_Enabled#For_Jetty_.287_and_above.29) apart from Filter

Also, the Payara server has a feature that allows CORS headers support to Microprofile OpenAPI module- [Eclipse MicroProfile OpenAPI API :: Payara Community Documentation](https://docs.payara.fish/community/docs/documentation/microprofile/openapi.html#_command_options)
