Hi there,

I'm having trouble getting EJB JNDI lookups to work over HTTPS.

I am using JBoss 3.2.2 running on Win XP platform.

I already have JNDI/EJB working over straight HTTP (having configured the HTTP Invoker for my bean).

I have the tomcat SSL connector and keystore configured and can connect to the app server via

https://localhost:8443/jmx-console

This all works fine.

To use HTTPS, I changed the client JNDI intial context URL to the https protocol and the web server SSL port. This worked fine. However when I disable the tomcat HTTP connector, the JNDI lookup fails (InitialContext.lookup()) with the following exception:


Caused by: javax.naming.CommunicationException: Operation failed [Root exception is java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect]

I tried debugging the client side invocation layer code and noticed that a http URL is being returned to the org.jboss.invocation.http.interfaces.HttpInvokerProxy class of the form:

http://ipaddress:8080/invoker/JMXInvokerServlet
