Glassfish JAX-WS side by side SSL / insecure EJB webservice

Question

Is it possible to run a single @WebService bean as both secure and insecure at the same time, preferably using the same URL except for the http/https protocol difference?

I am able to run the service either secure or insecure using:

<transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>

or

<transport-guarantee>NONE</transport-guarantee>

inside sun-ejb-jar.xml

IE.

<ejb>
  <ejb-name>MyEJB</ejb-name>
  <webservice-endpoint>
    <port-component-name>MyWebService</port-component-name>
    <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
  </webservice-endpoint>
</ejb>

Suggestions?

Answer 1

Why you just not proxy app server with Apache HTTP server or similar? I usually do this way and leave SSL handshaking/open text connection to HTTP in front of it.

Answer 2

just remove the <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>, your beans will be available on http and https also. <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee> means strict security, any http request coming is redirected to https(ssl).

removing this <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee> you will get great flexibility.
