JBoss Service with SSL and Protocol Buffers

I'm interested in building a JBoss service. Because I'm reusing some existing code, the service must be able to talk SSL/TLS and Protocol Buffers.

The documentation I see on the JBos开发者_StackOverflows wiki makes it look like services have their transport and data interpretation handled by JBoss itself. Is it really the case?

How could I implement this requirement?
