Https on JBoss web server

[fatbatman]

How do I get https working on JBoss web server?

I'm trying to migrate my applciation from jbossweb-tomcat55.sar in Jboss 4.0.x to JBossweb.

I've modified;

jboss-5.0.0.Beta2\server\default\deployers\jbossweb.deployer\server.xml

so that it reads;

<Server>
 <Service name="jboss.web">
 <Connector port="80" address="${jboss.bind.address}"
 maxThreads="250" strategy="ms" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
 emptySessionPath="true"
 enableLookups="false" redirectPort="443" acceptCount="100"
 connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true"/>

 <!-- A AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 -->
 <Connector port="8009" address="${jboss.bind.address}"
 emptySessionPath="true" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="443"
 protocol="AJP/1.3"/>

 <!-- SSL/TLS Connector configuration using the admin devl guide keystore
 <Connector port="443" address="${jboss.bind.address}" maxThreads="100"
 strategy="ms" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" emptySessionPath="true"
 scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false"
 keystoreFile="${jboss.server.home.dir}/conf/mykeyfile.key"
 keystorePass="mypass" sslProtocol="TLS" />

.....

Do I need to do anything else?

On startup in the log I see;

..............
22:52:42,777 INFO [ServiceEndpointManager] jbossws-2.0.0.DEV (build=200703312135)

.........

But when I try to go to https://localhost or there is no repsponse, and nothing in the log.
If I go to http://localhost:443 I see the web app, although it doesn't appear to be https.

What do I need to do?

Thanks in advance

Did you generate a certificate using keytool and set up the web server to use it? See http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=SSLSetup

I played around a bit and finally got it working, not exactly sure what the problem was, but this works;

<Connector port="443"
protocol="HTTP/1.1"
SSLEnabled="true"
maxThreads="150"
scheme="https"
secure="true"
keystoreFile="${jboss.server.home.dir}/conf/mydomain_com.key"
clientAuth="false"
keystorePass="xxx"
sslProtocol="TLS" />

Where as this hangs with no error output, that I could see, at start up or on a request;

<Connector port="443"
address="${jboss.bind.address}"
maxThreads="100"
strategy="ms"
maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
emptySessionPath="true"
scheme="https"
secure="true"
clientAuth="false"
keystoreFile="${jboss.server.home.dir}/conf/mydomain_com.key"
keystorePass="xxx"
sslProtocol="TLS" />

Thanks anyway for your suggestion, I was in the middle of deployment hell when I sent the first post..... things have settled down a bit since :)
