How do I enable Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) in ThingWorx?
|
Enabling CORS allows requests to be made from a domain/website to an instance of ThingWorx that is deployed on a different server. This can be done by updating the Apache Tomcat web.xml file. Detailed process steps are available at https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS229450.
|
||
After installing Tomcat and deploying the Thingworx.war file, Composer does not start and issues a "404 error: Application not found".
|
• Verify the proper port on Tomcat is being used when accessing Composer.
• Check for proxy server redirection.
• Verify that the Thingworx.war file and corresponding folder in <Tomcat directory>/webapps have the correct case (Thingworx, not thingworx or ThingWorx).
• Verify that the URL accessed is correct http://<server>:<port>/Thingworx (not http://<server>:<port>/ThingWorx)
• If a "404 page not found error" is encountered in a RHEL environment after ThingWorx installation, verify the following steps as well:
◦ Verify that the JDK is present in the /usr/lib/jvm/ folder. If the JDK is not present, then follow the steps to install Java in Install Java, Apache Tomcat, and ThingWorx.
◦ Verify that the JAVA_HOME environment variable has the JDK path. For example,
JAVA_HOME = /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.144

The following error appears when deploying ThingWorx:
org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext.log HTMLManager: FAIL - Deploy Upload Failed, Exception: org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload.FileUploadBase$SizeLimitExceededException: the request was rejected because its size (90883556) exceeds the configured maximum (52437800) java.lang.IllegalStateException: org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload.FileUploadBase$SizeLimitExceededException: the request was rejected because its size (90883556) exceeds the configured maximum (52437800) at org.apache.catalina.connector.Request.parseParts(Request.java:2871 |
The maximum file size in the Tomcat web.xml file must be increased (default is 50MB). This file is located at :
<path to Tomcat>\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
8.5\webapps\manager\WEB-INF 1. Open the web.xml.
2. Change the max-file-size and max-request-size to 104857600.
3. Save and close the file.
4. Restart Tomcat.

The following error message appears when attempting to undeploy ThingWorx:
FAIL - Unable to delete [<path to Tomcat>\webapps\Thingworx].
The continued presence of this file may cause problems. Due to FlxCore64.dll (<path to Tomcat>\webapps\Thingworx\WEB-INF\extensions\FlxCore64.dll) |
Remove -Djava.library.path from Tomcat’s Java configuration before undeployment. Refer to this technical support article for more information on this error and solution.
