Well, if you mean can servlets work with a secure (https/SSL) server,
the answer is a most definite yes. The servlets sit behind the
server, so everything is taken care of by the server -- it does the
decryption on incoming requests and the encryption on outgoing
responses. This is all transparent to the servlets. Getting the
secure server going (e.g. getting the key and the certificate) is
totally independent of the servlets. Well, depending on how your
servlet engine connects to the server, you may need to set it up
differently (I'm not familiar with JWS in this regard, but I know some
of the servlet engines that connect to NES via WAI need to be set up
differently).
So to see if the problem is with the servlets or the server, just try
any old URL for the secure server, e.g. https://www.domain.com/, and
see what happens. If that works OK, then likely the problem is
related to the servlets/servlet engine. If it doesn't, the problem is
with the setup of the secure server itself.
Note there is something else people sometimes mean when they talk
about servlets working with SSL -- that is, when they act as a client
and try to open a connection to another server that is secure. This
is a different issue, and requires having classes that you can use
from the servlet to handle the secure interaction with the other
server. Someone else was asking about this today on this or another
servlet related mailing list I'm on. I don't really know much about
how to do this.
