I would like to use ssl / https as described in
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/How+to+configure+SSL
using jetty-maven-plugin, but I don't know how to configure the plugin. Any hint, example, tutorial, walkthrough ?
Also, I wonder how to carry out Step 3b of the above mentioned tutorial, where manipulation the jetty server is necessary (java -classpath $JETTY_HOME/lib/jetty-util-6.1-SNAPSHOT.jar:$JETTY_HOME/lib/jetty-6.1-SNAPSHOT.jar org.mortbay.jetty.security.PKCS12Import jetty.pkcs12 keystore
).
You can use Maven to create a development certificate and use it when starting Jetty. First, configure the keytool-maven-plugin to create a development certificate:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>keytool-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>generate-resources</phase>
<id>clean</id>
<goals>
<goal>clean</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<phase>generate-resources</phase>
<id>genkey</id>
<goals>
<goal>genkey</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<keystore>${project.build.directory}/jetty-ssl.keystore</keystore>
<dname>cn=my.hostname.tld</dname><!-- put your CN here-->
<keypass>jetty6</keypass>
<storepass>jetty6</storepass>
<alias>jetty6</alias>
<keyalg>RSA</keyalg>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Change the CN as you wish. Then configure the maven-jetty-plugin to use the development certificate:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jetty-plugin</artifactId>
<version>6.1.10</version>
<configuration>
<contextPath>/context</contextPath>
<scanIntervalSeconds>5</scanIntervalSeconds>
<connectors>
<connector implementation="org.mortbay.jetty.nio.SelectChannelConnector">
<port>8080</port>
<maxIdleTime>60000</maxIdleTime>
</connector>
<connector implementation="org.mortbay.jetty.security.SslSocketConnector">
<port>8443</port>
<maxIdleTime>60000</maxIdleTime>
<keystore>${project.build.directory}/jetty-ssl.keystore</keystore>
<password>jetty6</password>
<keyPassword>jetty6</keyPassword>
</connector>
</connectors>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Run mvn jetty:run
and open https://localhost:8443/context.
In case you are get this error using Pascal's solution:-
Could not find goal 'genkey' in plugin org.codehaus.mojo:keytool-maven-plugin:1.3
- Use 'generateKeyPair' as the goal. (genKey is deprecated I believe. )
- Add plugin version.
The plugin definition should look like :-
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>keytool-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>generate-resources</phase>
<id>clean</id>
<goals>
<goal>clean</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<phase>generate-resources</phase>
<id>genkey</id>
<goals>
<goal>generateKeyPair</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<keystore>${project.build.directory}/jetty-ssl.keystore</keystore>
<dname>cn=my.hostname.tld</dname><!-- put your CN here -->
<keypass>jetty6</keypass>
<storepass>jetty6</storepass>
<alias>jetty6</alias>
<keyalg>RSA</keyalg>
</configuration>
</plugin>
In case you want to do it using Jetty 9, note that since jetty-9.0 it is no longer possible to configure a https connector directly in the pom.xml: you need to use jetty xml config files to do it.[1].
Here is an example:
pom.xml
<properties>
<jetty-version>9.1.2.v20140210</jetty-version>
</properties>
...
<dependency>
<groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId>

<executions>
<execution>
<phase>generate-resources</phase>
<id>clean</id>
<goals>
<goal>clean</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<phase>generate-resources</phase>
<id>genkey</id>
<goals>
<goal>generateKeyPair</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
