After facing a similar issue, below is what I did :
To the CORS filter, I added corsFilter.getAllowedOrigins().add("http://localhost:4200");
.
Basically, you should add the URL which you want to allow Cross-Origin Resource Sharing. Ans you can also use "*"
instead of any specific URL to allow any URL.
public class RestApplication
extends Application
{
private Set<Object> singletons = new HashSet<Object>();
public MessageApplication()
{
singletons.add(new CalculatorService()); //CalculatorService is your specific service you want to add/use.
CorsFilter corsFilter = new CorsFilter();
// To allow all origins for CORS add following, otherwise add only specific urls.
// corsFilter.getAllowedOrigins().add("*");
System.out.println("To only allow restrcited urls ");
corsFilter.getAllowedOrigins().add("http://localhost:4200");
singletons = new LinkedHashSet<Object>();
singletons.add(corsFilter);
}
@Override
public Set<Object> getSingletons()
{
return singletons;
}
}

<url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
The most important code which I was missing when I was getting this issue was, I was not adding my class extending javax.ws.rs.Application i.e RestApplication to the init-param of <servlet-name>resteasy-servlet</servlet-name>
<init-param>
<param-name>javax.ws.rs.Application</param-name>
<param-value>com.app.RestApplication</param-value>
</init-param>
And therefore my Filter was not able to execute and thus the application was not allowing CORS from the URL specified.
