Accessing Liferay Web Services from other application

Hi All,

I'm trying to access Liferay Web Services from other application, but being prompt of this error:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://localhost:8080/api/jsonws/guestbook-portlet.guestbook/get-guestbooks/group-id/20182. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:3000' is therefore not allowed access.

I tried to access the liferay web services from my other application using this URL below:
private liferaySvcUrl = 'http://localhost:8080/api/jsonws/guestbook-portlet.guestbook/get-guestbooks/group-id/20182';

I had also implemented CORSFilter as per suggested in this blog below. I'm not sure whether i'm missing something.

Any advise would be great. Thanks.

Hi Jagan,

Thanks for the reply. I can access the liferay web services now from other application using CORS. After successfully login to liferay, everytime i need to parse in the authentication string to call liferay web services. Is there any secure way to do this? How can i retrieve the token after successful login to liferay? Thanks.

authString = 'Basic ' + btoa(email + ':' + password);
headers.append('Authorization', this.authString);
