This is explained in the documentation.

Yes, it's explained, but it doesn't work. At least not "out of the box" with 4.0.

I get the following exception:

12:22:38,526 ERROR [StatelessSessionContainer] Starting failed jboss.j2ee:jndiName=examples/ejb20/testbeans/stateless/TraderRequired
Home,service=EJB
java.lang.RuntimeException: invoker is null: jboss:service=invoker,type=jrmp

I've got the same problem did you have a solution.

[planeski]

Negative. Never got it to work.

I have not worked it out either. I just modified the Tomcat configuration to
use SSL and that is good enough for our purposes.

Hello Juha and others,

I attempted to follow the JBoss 4 documentation (chapters 8 and 9) to simply configure HTTP over SSL, but its not that simple. Does anyone have any suggestions for common problems encountered? I've copied the 'chap8.keystore' file to jboss/server/default/conf/ and edited the jbossweb-tomcat50.sar/server.xml document. I am unable to establish a secure connection to jmx for testing.

Do I also need to make and sign a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) for the Certificate Authority?

The instructions found at http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=22243 do not seem to coincide with JBoss's documentation. JBoss gives the impression that I can test the secure connection without the CSR.

Any help is greatly appreciated...
