I'm trying to configure HornetQ on AS 6.1 so it accepts encrypted connections. I coud not find a tutorial on the subject, and only very sparse documentation, but from what I got this should work. But the JavaSE client cannot connect. The client works if I lookup for a non-SSL connecton factory. If It looks for an SSL-enabled connenction factory, it gets an javax.jms.JMSException: Failed to create session factory When calling createConnection: ConnectionFactory jmsConnectionFactory = (ConnectionFactory)ctx.lookup("SSLXAConnectionFactory"); con = jmsConnectionFactory.createConnection(); I changed hornetq-configuration.xml to add a connector and an acceptor: org.hornetq.core.remoting.impl.netty.NettyConnectorFactory org.hornetq.core.remoting.impl.netty.NettyAcceptorFactory And changed hornetq-jms.xml to bind to JNDI a conection factory using them: true JBoss AS 6.1 starts without an error in server.log jms.keystore and client.truststore were generated using keytool, the same way it works to configure a remoting ssl invoker for EJB3. I even download hornetq standalone and looked at the examples, it looks like I did the same as sample "ssl-enabled", but it won't work for me. Please, any hint on what I did wrong?
