The draft JEP “TLS Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation Extension” is
now available for community review:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8051498
This JEP is to add support for the Application Layer Protocol
Negotiation (ALPN) TLS Hello extension [1] in JSSE. ALPN provides a
mechanism for declaring the application protocols that are supported
over a TLS connection.
We need this functionality to make JDK 9, so this JEP needs to get into
the JEP pipeline soon. Community review is a precursor in the process
before it can move to "Submitted."
For now, there is a simple API proposed (similar to JDK 8 SNI), but I'm
parsing the discussions that took place on security-dev in August[2],
September[3], and November 2014[4], and the current API is likely not
flexible enough.
Thanks,
Brad
