Hi, there is no problem to be expected with Struts and HTTPS. HTTPS is handled transparently to the application by the server, and the app components - may it be Struts or something else - are behind that. Considering certificates, you might want to check out the JSSE extensions available from java.sun.com. You can either make that a system extension (by just copying the .jar files to the /jre/lib/ext directory or setting the JSSE_HOME variable to point at the JSSE dirs. Then, using the keytool app that comes with the JDK, generate the keys and tell the server where to find them. If you're using Tomcat, there is an SSL-HowTo included in the documentation describing each and every detail, so you can't go wrong. Note that both the passwords for the keystore (you can have multiple ones) and the tomcat user have to be identical, but they don't necessarily have to be 'changeit', which is the default. If something goes wrong, just delete the .keystore file and try again. If you're using explicit keystores reserved for the Tomcat server, you may have to edit server.xml (you'll have to remove the comments for enabling the SSL adapter anyway), specifying the keystoreFile and keystorePass attributes as needed (yes, you have to provide the password in clear text, so protect the file :). But as I said, there is an SSL-HowTo included in the Tomcat documentation, so I'll better stop being redundant.
