[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBREM-581) can not do connection validation with ssl transport (only impacts detection)

Ron Sigal commented on JBREM-581:
---------------------------------

AbstractDetector and JNDIDetector have been updated with constructors that accept configuration Maps, which can include SSL information (e.g., truststore path and password).  The configuration Map is passed in the call to ConnectionValidator.checkConnection(), which the heartbeat and failure detection threads use to try to contact a known server.  ConnectionValidator.checkConnection() passes it to the appropriate client invoker.  Therefore, it is now possible for the detectors to contact servers that use SSL connections, if the appropriate SSL information is made available.

The test for SSL transports, added for JBREM-580, has been backed out.

Sample code can be found in org.jboss.remoting.samples.detection.jndi.ssl.

A new unit test has been added, org.jboss.test.remoting.detection.jndi.RestartTestCase, in which a client detects that a server starts, stops, and starts again.  That test is also extended to an SSL specific version: org.jboss.test.remoting.detection.jndi.ssl.SSLRestartTestCase,

> When a detector gets the detection message from a server, the detection message does not include (nor should it), the ssl info needed to make the ping invocation on that server to verify it is indeed dead.  Per JBREM-580, will currently just avoid making ping invocation if transport supports ssl.  This means that never does the ping invocation to ensure that the server is really down (and not just lack of getting detection message update), but instead will just consider it dead if detection message is stale.
