Ok. I have done cxf considerable so I know I can grab the cert from the
request, and I usually use an interceptor but on this new project with this
new company they don't use any framework other than servlets. Not even
spring.

Now what I mean by grabbing the client certificate is still using TLS ( I
think) but not in the "normal" vain that most would expect. The current app
does a redirect, from http port 8080 to https port 8443. This redirect
causes the browser to present
the client certificate in the normal manner and it is captured for later
processing, after the certificate is captured the comms is redirected back
to http port 8080 and the processing continues.

I guess I don't really mean not use https but more like, how can I, in one
request, go from http to https, get the cert, then go back to http and the
REST service.

I've seen cxf can do redirects and was wonder if this could be done but I'm
not versed enough to figure it out. It would be a big feather in my cap if I
could do this since the altimate customer wants this done like yesterday and
I'm holding things up trying to bring new tech into their hack and slash
world.


I'm wondering if you are after something like this:

1. have one endpoint listening on the unsecured http port, have the service class like this:
@Path("http")
public class HttpService {
private @Context UriInfo ui;

private String httpsUri;

@Path("1")
@GET
public Response one() {
   return Response.seeOther(httpsUri).build()
}

@Path("2")
@GET
public Response two() {
}

}


Endpoint 2:

@Path("https")
public class HttpService {
private @Context UriInfo ui;

private String httpUri2;

@GET
public Response theHttps() {
// grab the certs at the interceptor level, and now redirect back to @Path("2") in the prev endpoint
   return Response.seeOther(httpUri2).build()
}

}

Something like that ?

Cheers, Sergey

Thanks

Paul
