Sorry for the markup goofups..not entirely used to the jboss wiki editor.
Note that these directions assume a valid cert.
If you create a self signed cert, then you will need to create a client.truststore file form the self signed cert
and use some additional command line args when starting the thick client.
e.g.
-Dorg.jboss.security.ignoreHttpsHost=true -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=client.truststore -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=foobar
Note also that only the sun and bea jvms handle the ssl connections properly.
The default java on most linuxes do not (or at least I dont know how) handle ssl properly.
