SSL sockets - adapter class

[Vladimir Ergovic]

I am trying to write class that implements SSL Sockets instead of regular Sockets when using RMI. I have class that is adapter and now I have a problem:
How can I convert (easy way) SSL socket to regular one. Can I just cast it (I don't think so) or do I have implement all methods from Socket class?

Are you familiar with the Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE). It provides all the classes necessary to create SSL connections. The samples provided in the download demonstrate several ways of creating secure sockets for a number of purposes including RMI.
I found these links helpful: http://java.sun.com/products/jsse/ http://java.sun.com/products/jsse/doc/apidoc/index.html http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-05-2001/jw-0511-howto.html?

In fact, JSSE comes with a complete example demonstrating how to use RMI over SSL. It's pretty easy... once you know how Have a look in jsse*\samples\rmi (it's in JDK 1.4 too but buried somewhere deep inside the documentation directories, have a look).

Thanks, maybe I was not too clear. I am familiar with all those links and I red 3 books about it but there is no example how it should be done. For example in Remote Method Invocation Guide, author left the problem for reader to do as exercise
The problem is that interface defined in RMI say for example:
Socket accept().
Now if I do following:
Socket accept(){
return (Socket)sslSocketInstance;
}
Not good.
That is the problem!
