RE: Using SSL and SOAP

Using the debugging option, I found out that I was using an invalid
keystore... Now I replaced the keystore, but Tomcat now won't even display
the splash page. This worked fine, when I was using invalid certs... Can you
assist me a little further!? Thanx

This is most likely a un-trusted server certificate issue.  Try adding the
following to your runtime environment. 

        -Djavax.net.debug=ssl 

If you see that it's a server cert issue, then you'll need to install the
server cert into your local truststore.  See the keytool documentation for
this.

Hello, 
  
can someone help me? I try to do SOAP-Calls over HTTPS and I always get the
following result: 
  
[SOAP-Exception: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Client; msg=Error opening socket: null; 
targetException=java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Error opening socket:
null] 
  
The SOAP-Documentation says, that there's noone listening at the desired
address & port, but when I point my browser to the address I get the
response from the rpcrouter servlet...


My client-side code looks like this: 
    
    .... 
    try 
    { 
      SOAPHTTPConnection shc = new SOAPHTTPConnection(); 
      shc.setMaintainSession(false); 
  
      Properties theProps = System.getProperties(); 
  
      switch(object.getProxyTyp()) 
      { 
        case 1 : 
        { 
          if(object.sslEnabled()) 
          { 
            theProps.put("https.proxySet", "true"); 
            theProps.put("https.proxyHost", pHost); 
            theProps.put("https.proxyPort", pPort); 
          } 
          else 
          { 
            theProps.put("proxySet", "true"); 
            theProps.put("proxyHost", pHost); 
            theProps.put("proxyPort", pPort); 
          } 
          break; 
        } 
        case 2 : 
          if(object.sslEnabled()) 
          { 
            theProps.put("https.socksProxySet", "true"); 
            theProps.put("https.socksProxyHost", pHost); 
            theProps.put("https.socksProxyPort", pPort); 
          } 
          else 
          { 
            theProps.put("socksProxySet", "true"); 
            theProps.put("socksProxyHost", pHost); 
            theProps.put("socksProxyPort", pPort); 
          } 
          break; 
        default : 
        { 
          theProps.put("proxySet", "false"); 
          theProps.put("socksProxySet", "false"); 
          theProps.put("https.proxySet", "false"); 
          theProps.put("https.socksProxySet", "false"); 
        } 
      } 
  
      if(object.sslEnabled()) 
      { 
        theProps.put("java.protocol.handler.pkgs", 
"com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol"); 
        Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider()); 
  
        if(m_strServerPort.equals("443")) 
          m_strServerURL = " https:// <https://> " + m_strServerIP +
"/soap/servlet/rpcrouter"; 
        else 
          m_strServerURL = "https" + m_strServerURL; 
      } 
      else 
        m_strServerURL = "http" + m_strServerURL; 
  
      System.setProperties(theProps); 
  
      Vector params = new Vector (); 
  
      params.addElement(new Parameter("arg1", String.class, m_strRequest,
null)); 
  
// making the SOAP-Call 
      Call theCall = new Call(); 
  
      theCall.setSOAPTransport(shc); 
      theCall.setTargetObjectURI(m_strTargetObjectURI); 
      theCall.setMethodName(web_service); 
      theCall.setEncodingStyleURI(m_strEncodingStyleURI); 
      theCall.setParams(params); 
  
      URL ServerUrl = new URL(m_strServerURL); 
  
      Response inquiry_response = theCall.invoke(ServerUrl, null); 
  
      Parameter result = inquiry_response.getReturnValue(); 
  
      if(inquiry_response.generatedFault()) 
      { 
        Fault theFault = inquiry_response.getFault(); 
        inquiry_result_string = stringError("01", "Fehler beim Aufruf des
WebService\n" + theFault.getFaultCode() + "\n" + theFault.getFaultString());

      } 
      else 
        inquiry_result_string =
inquiry_response.getReturnValue().getValue().toString(); 
    ...... 
    
  
Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong and how I can correct the problem,
please. I don't (and cannot) use client authentication, so I left that out.
I'm working with Apache SOAP v.2.2 and JSSE 1.0.2, but it's no problem to
change versions if that solves the problem!


  
Thank you for your time! 
  
Sincerely,
