Do I require SSL to use ChannelProcessingFilter

[sim085]

Hi,

I am trying to use the ChannelProcessingFilter so that my login.htm page uses https:// rather then http://

However I get a message telling me "The page cannot be displayed" when I add the ChannelProcessingFilter bean to the list of filters set in the filterChainProxy. Also in JBoss I get the following lines:

13:03:42,875 INFO  [STDOUT] 13:03:42,875 INFO  [ExpressionEvaluationUtils] Found
 JSP 2.0 ExpressionEvaluator
13:03:55,625 INFO  [STDOUT] Header

However I am not sue if the above are correct.

I should also mention that I am using tiles. As you can see, JBoss is displaying the text Header, which means that the Header of the page was loaded, but then something wrong happens!!

Do I need to configure my JBoss in someway so that it supports https:// or?

Thanks & Regards,

You will have to do some configuration for https support, although I've not done it with JBOSS. This link might help.

I had seen this article before on the acegi website thank you .. was trying to go without it, but now I know I need it

Just an out of topic question ... what application server do you use then?

I've never needed one on a project, they've typically just used Jetty or Tomcat. Even with enterprise systems clustering them has solved any problems we had.

I have played around with JBoss, Jonas, Glassfish etc... Sure I'll need to use one....... one of these days.
