Can't get a PUT request to work using the REST API through CORS.

Q&A

I am trying to complete a task using the REST API. I have added CORS to the bonita server as described here . I am able to successfully use GET and POST with the API.

I first login to http://localhost:8082/bonita/loginservice which is successful.

When doing a PUT to (http://localhost:8082/bonita/API/bpm/humanTask/80006) Bonita is telling me that this method is not allowed.

Remote Address:127.0.0.1:8082

The ID in the request (80006) is the results of http://localhost:8082/bonita/API/bpm/humanTask?f=user_id%3D103

[{"displayDescription":"","executedBySubstitute":"0","processId":"6655478004102162725","state":"ready","rootContainerId":"4003","type":"USER_TASK","assigned_id":"","assigned_date":"","id":"80006","executedBy":"0","caseId":"4003","priority":"normal","actorId":"402","description":"","name":"Step1","reached_state_date":"2014-12-03 13:44:29.104","displayName":"Step1","dueDate":"2014-12-03 14:44:29.086","last_update_date":"2014-12-03 13:44:29.104"}]

Anyone know why this is?

I got this working, turns out http://software.dzhuvinov.com jar does not support REST by default.

Had to add the following config to BONITA_INSTALL_DIR/workspace/tomcat/conf/web.xml:

CORS com.thetransactioncompany.cors.CORSFilter 
<init-param>
  <param-name>cors.supportedMethods</param-name>
  <param-value>GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS</param-value>
</init-param>
CORS /*
