The server side of OpenEJB is responding with a different protocol than the
client is using.  The OpenEJB client side class Client, in it's
processRequest() method, as part of the handshake with the server, is
sending a ClusterRequest object to the server.  The CluserRequest object
contains the correct URI, "ejbds://127.0.0.1:4201", but when the server
responds with a ClusterResponse object later in the processRequest() method,
the URI is "ejbd:0.0.0.0:4201".  This URI's protocol, ejbd, is then used for
all future connections to the server, which fails, as noted in the last
post.

Is OpenEJB's support of SSL incomplete?

Thanks in advance.
