Hi,
Is it possible to perform secure EJB communication over SSL using
openejb-3.0.1? Our application communicates from client to server
using
remote EJB method calls and Geronimo-2.1.4, which in turn uses
Openejb-3.0.1. We need to achieve SSL encrypted communication for our
EJBs for our client to server communication. I've been searching for
some time for an example of how to achieve this. In my searches I came
across OPENEJB-785 (http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENEJB-785)
which appears to be a blocking bug that was resolved in Openejb-3.1
and
thus did not make it into our version of Geronimo. This would lead
me to
believe that secure EJB communication is not possible for us with our
version of Openejb and Geronimo.
Right. The good news is that Geronimo 2.2 has been branched and is
frozen and should be released as soon as we can get final binaries
from our dependent projects (activemq, xbean, openejb, etc.). This
will contain OpenEJB 3.1.2 which does have the SSL feature. It also
has a reworked client/server protocol that is *way* faster in remote
communication.
How are people addressing the problem of encrypted EJB communication
in
Openejb-3.0.1?
Any chance you'd be willing to try a snapshot of 2.2? Would be happy
to build you one.
