I would tell you to read the docs, but I couldn't find that in the docs. I couldn't even find a wiki page on it. But then maybe I don't know the proper keywords for a search (tried SSL and HTTPS to n avail).

JBoss in Action, section 6.4, provides detailed steps.

thankyou very much sir..

i was able to to do my job. i created a .certificate file using java keytool utility and put it in /server/default/conf directory and renamed it chap8.keystore.
than uncomment some stuff in /server/default/deploy/jbossweb.sar/server.xml:

<!-- SSL/TLS Connector configuration using the admin devl guide keystore-->
      <Connector protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true" 
           port="8443" address="${jboss.bind.address}"
           scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false" 
           keystoreFile="${jboss.server.home.dir}/conf/chap8.keystore"
           keystorePass="changeit" sslProtocol = "TLS" />

thats all i did.
thanks for your response.

Some time after posting my reply I realized that you could use the Tomcat docs to set up HTTPS. The steps are at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/ssl-howto.html.
