I have a similar setup for an app... But, I don't use sslext, I just use RewriteRules in apache to make sure that the pages I want to be secured are secured. This means I forward back to normal http for most pages and forward to https for pages that need it. It's fairly straightforward and I don't have to worry about it in the Java end of things. -Wes -- Wes Wannemacher Author - Struts 2 In Practice Includes coverage of Struts 2.1, Spring, JPA, JQuery, Sitemesh and more http://www.manning.com/wannemacher --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@struts.apache.org
