JAX-RS: OPTIONS for every Resource

UPDATE 09/12/2013: THIS DOES NOT WORK. Using this all @GET/@DELETE/@POST/@PUT are not working any more.

Finally I solved my problem. I created a super class OptionsResource, from which all resources inherit. This resoruce contains:

// Match root-resources@OPTIONS@PermitAllpublic Response options() {    return Response.status(Response.Status.NO_CONTENT).build();}// Match sub-resources@OPTIONS@Path("{path:.*}")@PermitAllpublic Response optionsAll(@PathParam("path") String path) {    return Response.status(Response.Status.NO_CONTENT).build();}

An example:

@Path("/test")public class TestResource extends OptionsResource {    @GET    @Produces("text/plain;charset=UTF-8")    public Response index() {        return Response.status(Status.OK).entity("works").build();    }}

This matches:

• curl -I -X OPTIONS http://myhost.com/test
• curl -I -X OPTIONS http://myhost.com/test/asd/aasd/12/
• etc.

Quite a late reply, but a much nicer solution is to use a filter that catches all the OPTIONS call before path matching. In Kotlin, it will look like this:

@Provider @PreMatchingclass OptionsFilter: ContainerRequestFilter {    override fun filter(requestContext: ContainerRequestContext) {        if (requestContext.method == "OPTIONS") {            requestContext.abortWith(Response.status(Response.Status.NO_CONTENT).build())        }    }}

The java version:

@Provider@PreMatchingpublic class OptionFilter implements ContainerRequestFilter {    @Override    public void filter(ContainerRequestContext requestContext) throws IOException {        if (requestContext.getMethod().contentEquals("OPTIONS")) {        requestContext.abortWith(Response.status(Response.Status.NO_CONTENT).build());        }    }}
