Hi, I don't get why I must do all this configuration of cxf in order to make it access external web services over HTTPS when my web browser is able to access web sites over HTTPS so easily. Can someone explain this?
I'm not sure what you mean here. CXF is a piece of infrastructure. It can't really make the same assumptions that a Web browser -- an end-user piece of software -- can. In particular, CXF gives you the ability to make fine-grained trust decisions that web browsers aren't really capable of -- mostly because of the trust model they are based on.
Besides, if I must provide all sorts of configurations in a http:conduit element in my beans.xml, then isn't there a way to make this configuration apply to more than one service/port pair?
That's certainly a valid question, and one for which I don't think there is a real answer, currently. All configuration for SSL is done at endpoint granularity. Feel free to raise an enhancement request, though.
