All, Was this ever solved / explained? I'm having a similar issue. If there's a simple answer that I'm missing that would be great... otherwise I might post an example set of NARs somewhere tomorrow. Probably the simplest question first is, if I want to create a custom processor that uses a SSLContextService, what dependencies do I need to add where (assuming we're using the processor NAR archetype)? I've created an example that compiles, loads in NiFi, and can be dropped on the graph. However, it can not be configured to use any currently existing SSLContextService, and any that are created have the same UUID issue described by David. Thoughts?
