SSL Configuration on Maven Tomcat Plugin

maven-tomcat-plugin, ssl, tomcat7

Solution

With this configuration in my pom.xml I get it working:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
    <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.0</version>
    <configuration>
        <path>/${project.build.finalName}</path>
        <contextFile>${basedir}/context.xml</contextFile>
        <httpsPort>8443</httpsPort>
        <keystoreFile>${basedir}/certificates/keystore.jks</keystoreFile>
        <keystorePass>password</keystorePass>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Problem

I am trying to develop a Wicket app. It's login page must open with SSL. So I did some coding. But I can't find to configure the maven tomcat 7 plugin for SSL. I created keystore file properly.Using `keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA` command It's in the in user directory on windows.It's password is password. This is how I defined tomcat in pom.xml: ``` <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId> <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.0-beta-1</version> <executions> <execution> <id>tomcat-run</id> <goals> <goal>exec-war-only</goal> </goals> <phase>package</phase> <configuration> <path>foo</path> <!-- optional only if you want to use a preconfigured server.xml file --> <serverXml>src/main/tomcatconf/server.xml</serverXml> <!-- optional values which can be configurable --> <attachArtifactClassifier> default value is exec-war but you can customize </attachArtifactClassifier> <attachArtifactClassifierType> default value is jar </attachArtifactClassifierType> <httpsPort>8443</httpsPort> <keystoreFile>${user.home}/.keystore</keystoreFile> <keystorePass>password</keystorePass> <protocol>org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol</protocol> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> ```
