RELAY does not use protocol stack supplied programmatically (i.e. stack which was set by using relay.setProtocolStack(protocolStack). Even though the stack is used in init(), the function below only relies on bridge_props file. Even though using an XML file is mostly possible, it becomes problematic when a custom SSLContext needs to be used in SSL_KEY_EXCHANGE, which can now only be set programmatically.

protected void createBridge() {
try {
if(log.isTraceEnabled())
log.trace("I'm the coordinator, creating a channel (props=" + bridge_props + ", cluster_name=" + bridge_name + ")");
bridge=new JChannel(bridge_props);
bridge.setDiscardOwnMessages(true); // don't receive my own messages
bridge.setReceiver(new Receiver());
bridge.connect(bridge_name);
}
catch(Exception e)

}
