Save dash option does not work if the sample is not deployed in a tomcat container

[marianol]

When deploying the sample in a webserver (not a Tomcat container) the dashboard save option does not work. i.e. Apache HTTP @ localhost and Tomcat @ 127.0.0.1:8080

The error I get is:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://127.0.0.1:8080/dashboardsaver?username=default. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://127.0.0.1' is therefore not allowed access.

We should see if we can make the save option work from any domain since Visualize let us to host the web application separate from the App container.

Hi Mariano, the save feature is powered by java at the moment, that's why you need a servlet container.
This can be migrated to php but you have the same problem.
Some ideas:

Solution 1: make dynamic the servlet url using a variable, then if someone want to plug it into another servlet container they can just cut the web-inf folder from the sample and put it there.

Solution 2: switch from java to something else
