securityDomain property has not been picked up / initiated in JRMPInvoker's RMIServerSocketFactoryBean attribute so that when this property is set, JBoss can not start the related MBean service and gives out NullPointerException.

Reference from http://lists.jboss.org/pipermail/jbossws-users/2007-March/001817.html

I did already check out:
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-1983
but was not able to configure the ciphersuites accordingly
(this included JBAS-2785). I wasn't unable to check out,
if these settings would change anything on WebServices,
since JBoss doesn't start due to a null pointer exception
(see attachment). As some debugging reveals, this is
because the member "securityDomain" within:
org.jboss.security.ssl.ServerSocketFactory
seems to not get initialized.
