EJB+SSL migration from 4.2 to 5.0

[egore911]

Using JBoss 4.2 I set up remote EJB bindings to use SSL using chapter 9.2 of "http://docs.jboss.org/ejb3/app-server/reference/build/reference/en/html/transport.html".

Now I'd like to test that on JBoss 5, too. I found the following "http://jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-13276" which tells me to use servlets to forward the calls from the client to the EJB. This has 2 issues for me:

1.) It seems much more complex than the old version.
2.) I cannot create an EJB layer that is able to run on JBoss 4.2 and 5.0 without changing it.

Is there any way to work around this? Maybe adding another remoting connector to JBOSS_HOME/derver/default/deploy/ejb3-connectors-jboss-beans.xml?

Any suggestions welcome.
