I'm trying to get a standalone client to communicate with an EJB over SSL. I tried following the directions here, but they didn't work: http://labs.jboss.com/jbossejb3/docs/tutorial/ssl/ssl.html It complained that it didn't know what "jboss.aop:service=AspectDeployer" was. I figured that is because this was converted from an MBean into a Microcontainer bean since the time that article was written (or maybe a difference between 4.2 and 5.0). This document (http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossMicrocontainerFAQ) told me that an MBean could depend on a Microcontainer bean, so I changed the depends in the configuration to this: | <mbean code="org.jboss.remoting.transport.Connector" | name="jboss.remoting:type=Connector,transport=socket3843,handler=ejb3"> | <depends>AspectDeployer</depends> | <attribute name="InvokerLocator">sslsocket://0.0.0.0:3843</attribute> | <attribute name="Configuration"> | <handlers> | <handler subsystem="AOP"> | org.jboss.aspects.remoting.AOPRemotingInvocationHandler | </handler> | </handlers> | </attribute> | </mbean> | Unfortunately, that threw ClassNotFoundException's because of the whitespace around the classname in the handler tag. After getting rid of the whitespace, the server seemed to start without any errors. But, when I try to access a remote bean without specifying a truststore on the client side (i.e. without using -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore and keyStorePass), I am able to access the bean. I would expect that I wouldn't be able to. Here is my bean's remote interface: | @Remote | @RemoteBinding(clientBindUrl = "sslsocket://0.0.0.0:3843") | public interface Greeter { | public void greet(String message); | | public List<Greeting> getAllGreetings(); | } | As you can see, I have the RemoteBinding annotation with the clientBindUrl parameter specified. Am I missing something? I expect to NOT be able to access the bean without having the server certificate in my client truststore and the truststore specified on the command line, but I am still able to. What's the best way to ensure that SSL is actually working? ... As a side note, I opened a bug about whitespace in the jboss-web.xml files- http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-5173 - and I've seen this in other places as well. It seems likely that these whitespace issues all be related to the same XML parsing code?? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4127240#...
