adobe connect cross-origin filter

Question

I am creating a web app that checks the status of other sites and services. One page checks whether other sites are up on other domains. Most sites are using IIS7, so I just have to add an http response header to allow access from the domain hosting my page:

Access-Control-Allow-Origin, *

My problem is that one thing I have to check is whether the adobe connect server is up, and it uses Jetty. I looked at these two pages:

I download the jetty-servlet.jar, put it in my E:\Breeze\8.2.0.1\appserv\web\WEB-INF\lib folder, and add the following lines in my E:\Breeze\8.2.0.1\appserv\web\WEB-INF\web.xml file:

<web-app ...>
    ...
    <filter>
        <filter-name>cross-origin</filter-name>
        <filter-class>org.eclipse.jetty.servlets.CrossOriginFilter</filter-class>
    </filter>
    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>cross-origin</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>//*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>
    ...
</web-app>

but when I do, I get a 404 The requested resource () is not available when I try to reach the site in a web browser.

I'm using java version 1.6 and I've tried every version of the jetty-serlet.jar listed on the site above.

thanks!

First, the standard Connect install uses Tomcat, not Jetty. (Unless you've chosen to run CPS on Jetty.) But I think the CrossOriginFilter works in Tomcat as well.

Why the extra slash in the url-pattern? Wouldn't you want:

<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>

Is there any trace of your request in the container or CPS logs?
