SSL Server configuration

[Sergey Beryozkin <se...@iona.com>]

Hi there

In our CXF-based server we want to configure SSL props and I'm trying to do it like this (this fragmnet is incomplete, 'sec' prefix 
is declared earlier, xmlns:sec="http://cxf.apache.org/configuration/security") :

<bean id="ModelProviderPort.http-destination" class="org.apache.cxf.transport.http.destination.HTTPDestinationConfigBean">

<property name="sslServer">

<value>

<sec:sslServer>

<sec:Keystore>src/demo/hw_https/resources/celtix.p12</sec:Keystore>

<!-- more settings here -->

<sec:sslServer>

</bean>

And I get the error message (please see below). Now if I change the above bean setting to this one :
<bean id="ModelProviderPort.http-destination" abstract="true"> then the server starts ok, but it appears that the sslServer config 
is not picked up as I can successfully access our server using plain http...

Any advice on how we can make the CXF notice that sslServer is in teh config will be appreciated...Should we use abstract="true" or 
not ? Is it a matter of adding of updating our server's pom to bring some extra CXF jar dependency ? Can it be that due sslServer 
settings are ignored with abstract="true" because at the moment these settings in our case are simply not correct yet, for ex, a 
keystore location can not be resolved ?

Thanks, Sergey

P.S. Is it really a user question so that we should send questions like this to a users group ?
