Hi Vinnie,

The Java Servlet Expect Group reported that they have identified a specific

be easily addressed using the existing ALPN APIs.

This changeset fixes that problem. It supports a new callback mechanism to 
allow TLS server applications
to set an application protocol during the TLS handshake. Specifically it allows 
the cipher suite chosen by the
TLS protocol implementation to be examined by the TLS server application before 
it sets the application protocol.
Additional TLS parameters are also available for inspection in the callback 
function.

This new mechanism is available only to TLS server applications. TLS clients 
will continue to use the existing ALPN APIs.

Technically, the API could be used for NPN (though it's pretty much dead), so that would be a listing the options on the server side, and selection on client side.

SSLEngineImpl.java/SSLSocketImpl.java
=====================================
Please use the standard handshaker initialization pattern where the Handshaker is initialized with all of the data/mechanisms needed for a complete handshake. This will will ensure consistent handshake results and avoid potential strange race conditions. (There's some corresponding API comments below.)

You would register your callback after the handshaker.setApplicationProtocols() calls at (currently) line 444 in the SSLEngineImpl code.


SSLEngine.java/SSLSocket.java
=============================
I would suggest putting an introduction to this addition in the class description section, that application values can be set using SSLParameters.setApplication...() and selected with the default algorithm, or that a more accurate selection mechanism can be created by registering the callback that could look at any Handshake in progress and make appropriate decisions.

1339:

value during the SSL/TLS/DTLS handshake.
->

value for a SSL/TLS/DTLS handshake. The function overrides any values set using {@link SSLParameters#setApplicationProtocols SSLParameters.setApplicationProtocols}.

and remove the corresponding section from the return docs (in the {@code String section}).

handshake settings to be inspected.<br>

alert and terminate the connection.)

    This method should be called by TLS protocol implementations during
    the TLS handshake. The callback function should not be called until
    after the cipher suite has been selected.

I would suggest removing this apiNote entirely. I expect only applications will call this method, so the first sentence is not necessary since it's up to the implementation how it wants to store the BiFunction. I expect that when the handshaker is initialized, the current BiFunction will be assigned to it, and thus can't be changed for the current handshake/Handshaker in progress. The second sentence ties an ordering to the selection of ciphersuite and ALPN value, and will tie our hands if we ever revisit the group protocol/ciphersuite/SNI/ALPN selection discussion.

ServerHandshaker.java
=====================
I was expecting that the ALPN callback logic would be an update for our current ALPN decision logic. If a callback was set, use it, else look at defined strings from the SSLParameters, else fail. e.g.

    ALPNExtension clientHelloALPN = (ALPNExtension)
        mesg.extensions.get(ExtensionType.EXT_ALPN);

    if (clientHelloALPN != null) {
        List<String> protocols = clientHelloALPN.getPeerAPs();
        if (applicationSelector != null) {
            applicationProtocol =
                selector.apply(SSLEngine/SSLSocket, peerAPs);
        } else if (localApl.length > 0)) {
            // Intersect the requested and the locally supported,
            // and save for later.  Use server preference order
            for (String ap : localApl) {
                ...deleted...
            }
            applicationProtocol = negotiatedValue;
        }
        if (negotiatedValue == null) {
            fatalSE(Alerts.alert_no_application_protocol,
                new SSLHandshakeException(
                    "No matching ALPN values"));
        }
    }

Thanks.

Brad
