First off, thanks for this excellent tutorial. I really enjoyed it.

I encountered an issue in the Getting Started with JBoss EAP on OpenShift tutorial where it seemed that the SessionScoped country always "en" even after choosing a different country. I realized this was because the JESSSIONID cookie was blocked on the PUT request because it's marked Secure and the application is opened in http (the links in the tutorial use http). After I opened the application in https, I encountered another error: the jQuery script is loaded with http, so Chrome blocks "mixed content".

So two fixes are necessary:

1. Fix the application links in the tutorial. For example, on this page where it says "Now, try to access the service by calling going to the OpenShift console and click on the route link or use this link", make sure the link uses https. There are several of these links in the tutorial!
2. In index.html, load the jQuery script with HTTPS.

   Line 44 in e683ff7

   <script src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.templates/beta1/jquery.tmpl.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Open the application in http:

Open the application in https:

I reported an issue on the Katacode GitHub too:
