Spring Boot + Jetty + TLS1.2 (HTTPS)

Question

I have an application running locally with Spring Boot and Jetty. The problem comes when I try to add TLS1.2 to my project to support HTTPS. I work perfectly with http but now I want the services to be published in https with TLS1.2. And here is when I fail and I get errors.

I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextException: Unable to start embedded container; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'jettyEmbeddedServletContainerFactory' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/EmbeddedServletContainerAutoConfiguration$EmbeddedJetty.class]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'serverProperties': Could not bind properties; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.NotWritablePropertyException: Invalid property 'ssl[keyAlias]' of bean class [org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.ServerProperties]: Cannot access indexed value in property referenced in indexed property path 'ssl[keyAlias]'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.NotReadablePropertyException: Invalid property 'ssl[keyAlias]' of bean class [org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.ServerProperties]: Bean property 'ssl[keyAlias]' is not readable or has an invalid getter method: Does the return type of the getter match the parameter type of the setter?

This is my main where I start my application:

        package com.viajesurbis;

import org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer;
import org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletProperties;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder;
import org.springframework.boot.context.embedded.ServletRegistrationBean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

import com.viajesurbis.config.JerseyConfig;
import com.viajesurbis.rest.RestResource;

@Configuration
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@ComponentScan(basePackageClasses = { RestResource.class })
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        new SpringApplicationBuilder(Application.class).showBanner(false).run(args);
    }

    @Bean
    public ServletRegistrationBean jerseyServlet() {
        ServletRegistrationBean registration = new ServletRegistrationBean(new ServletContainer(), "/rest/*");
        registration.addInitParameter(ServletProperties.JAXRS_APPLICATION_CLASS, JerseyConfig.class.getName());
        return registration;
    }

}

This is my application.properties file: (This file is located in the src/main/resources path of my project)

server.port: 8443
server.ssl.key-store: keystore.p12
server.ssl.key-store-password: #REMOVED#
server.ssl.keyStoreType: PKCS12
server.ssl.keyAlias: jetty

I also have the file called keystore.p12 in the path src / main / resources and just in case I have also put the keystrore.p12 in the project, where the pom.xml is located. That is, I have the file duplicated but it still does not work.

If I delete the content of the application.properties then the application works perfectly for me but in HTTP and I want it to work in HTTPS.

Many thanks for your help. Kind regards,

Ssl configuration support has only been added to version 1.1.7:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.7.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

I just upgraded spring-boot-starter-parent version to 1.1.0.RELEASE and it got rid of the error:

Try to use this parent in your pom:

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.0.RELEASE</version>
</parent>
