I don't build the chain manually, I simply use a "ProxyConnector" (from package "org.apache.mina.proxy") to make a proxy connection (this also explains, why I had the SslFilter/autoStart problem in my earlier mail). "ProxyConnector" does the following in "setConnector": private void setConnector(final SocketConnector connector) { if (connector == null) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("connector cannot be null"); } this.connector = connector; String className = ProxyFilter.class.getName(); // Removes an old ProxyFilter instance from the chain if (connector.getFilterChain().contains(className)) { connector.getFilterChain().remove(className); } // Insert the ProxyFilter as the first filter in the filter chain builder connector.getFilterChain().addFirst(className, proxyFilter); }
