Binding Endpoint to HTTPS problem

Question

Hi guys. I created a basic REST service that works when it is invoked over a http connection. But when I try to add SSL on top I have some problems.
This is the code for the server creation:
1. private HttpContext getHttpContext() { 
2. HttpsServer server = null;
3. try { 
4. server = HttpsServer.create(new InetSocketAddress("localhost", 443), 5);
5.
6. server.setHttpsConfigurator(new HttpsConfigurator(SecureChatSslContextFactory.getServerContext()) { 
7.
8. public void configure(HttpsParameters params) { 
9. SSLContext context = getSSLContext();
10.
11. // get the default parameters
12. SSLParameters sslparams = context.getDefaultSSLParameters();
13. params.setSSLParameters(sslparams);
14. }
15. });
16.
17. server.start();
18.
19. return server.createContext("/customerservice/customer");
20. } catch (IOException e) { 
21. e.printStackTrace();
22. }
23. return null;
24. }
25. Endpoint e = Endpoint.create(HTTPBinding.HTTP_BINDING, new RestSourcePayloadProvider());
26. e.publish(getHttpContext());
The class RestSourcePayloadProvider has the public method invoke, but it never gets called when using https insteand of http. I suppose that the reason for this behaviour is that the binding for the endpoint is HTTPBinding.HTTP_BINDING, and not HTTPS. But I didn't manage to find a way to bind to https.
If I run the test client or the browser on "https://127.0.0.1:443/customerservice/customer" I get the same answer:
500 Internal Server Error No handler for context
Anyone has any idea about what's going on?
Thanks.

Answer 1

I found the answer to my problem. I was not creating a handler for the incoming requests. I was supposed to use
return server.createContext("/customerservice/customer", new HttpHandler(...));
instead of
return server.createContext("/customerservice/customer");
It looks like the interface Endpoint is implemented by the EndpointImpl class in Apache's CFX. When calling "publish(address)" the method called in EndpointImpl creates a ServerImpl that will be the service server. If I call "publish(server context)" nothing happens, because EndpointImpl doesn't override that method also.
