True ssl web service on jboss 4.2.x

Do you think that your web service responde really  over https port?

Setting https connector on jboss ( https jboss configuration )  is not really enougth , this is only the first configuration step.

Infact you may check if your web service endpoint  is exposed in http or in https from jboss ws console.

You may see a tipical web service miss-configuration in picture below which refers to jboss with https connector enabled but without any specific configuration over web service iteself (web service was created by @wsdl annotation).

You may notice that jboss exposes  wsdl file over an  https url,  but wsdl endpoint is an http path .

To fix this miss configuration issue you have to do two extra operations:

1-          Provide a web.xml file containing security constraints as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd" version="2.4"> 

  <servlet>

    <servlet-name>ResiIFWSImpl</servlet-name>

    <servlet-class>resiIf.impl.ResiIFWSImpl</servlet-class>

  </servlet>

  <servlet-mapping>

    <servlet-name>ResiIFWSImpl</servlet-name>

    <url-pattern>/ResiIFWSImpl</url-pattern>

  </servlet-mapping>

  <security-constraint>

    <web-resource-collection>

      <web-resource-name>All resources</web-resource-name>

      <url-pattern>/ResiIFWSImpl</url-pattern>

    </web-resource-collection>

    <user-data-constraint>

      <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>

    </user-data-constraint>

  </security-constraint>

</web-app>

2-          Modify  jboss-beans.xml file under $jboss_home\server\default\deploy\jbossws.sar\jbossws.beans\META-INF           

As follows:

  <!-- An abstraction of server configuration aspects. --> 

  <bean name="WSServerConfig" class="org.jboss.wsf.stack.jbws.NativeServerConfig">

    <property name="mbeanServer"><inject bean="WSMBeanServerLocator" property="mbeanServer"/></property>

   

    <property name="webServiceHost">${jboss.bind.address}</property>

    <property name="modifySOAPAddress">true</property>

                <property name="webServiceSecurePort">8443</property>

    <property name="webServicePort">8080</property>
