Creating a custom HTTPSConnector is JBOSS AS 7.1

[saransna]

I need to extend the default HTTPS connector in JBOSS AS 7.1 and add some custom code. Are there any examples I can look into to get started ?

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:1.2" default-virtual-server="default-host" native="false">

            <connector name="https" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="https" socket-binding="https" enable-lookups="false" secure="true">

             <ssl name="ssl"

             key-alias="test"

             password="nextgen!"

             certificate-key-file="/Users/sarul/jboss-as-7.1.3.Final/standalone/configuration/test.keystore"

             protocol="TLSv1"

             verify-client="false"/>

            </connector>

              <connector name="http" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="http" socket-binding="http"/>

            <virtual-server name="default-host" enable-welcome-root="true">

                <alias name="localhost"/>

                <alias name="example.com"/>

            </virtual-server>

        </subsystem>

I guess my questions at this point are,

1. Which class implements the default HTTPS connector highlighted above ?

2. Is this class extensible ? Where can I find an example to do that ?

3. Once I have the extended class, how do I package it and what configuration should I change in standalone.xml to enable by custom connector ?

Looks like the way to do this is to write a custom protocol handler class (extending any of the standard handlers like org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol) and specifying that class name in the protocol attribute as follows,

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:1.2" default-virtual-server="default-host" native="false">

            <connector name="https" protocol="com.yourcompany.infra.CustomHttpsHandler" scheme="https" socket-binding="https" enable-lookups="false" secure="true">

             <ssl name="ssl"

             key-alias="test"

             password="nextgen!"

             certificate-key-file="/Users/sarul/jboss-as-7.1.3.Final/standalone/configuration/test.keystore"

             protocol="TLSv1"

             verify-client="false"/>

            </connector>

              <connector name="http" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="http" socket-binding="http"/>

            <virtual-server name="default-host" enable-welcome-root="true">

                <alias name="localhost"/>

                <alias name="example.com"/>

            </virtual-server>

        </subsystem>

This seems to work for me so far.
