I don't have a recommendation as such, it was just a thought to get you to the 
quickest possible solution.

The options as I see it are:
1. Switch back to using https
2. Submit patches so that these warnings/error aren't logged for every request, 
perhaps just at startup or perhaps have another configuration to disable the 
warnings

It wasn't clear to me how you are ensuring the same level of security that 
OFBiz provides OOTB but I would recommend that maintaining it should be your 
highest priority.

Scott
