Accessing HTTPS from a Servlet
In our Project, we are using JBoss 2.2.1 and Tomcat 3.2.1. From this environment we have to access the https port of another Web Server.(iPlanet). We have successfully configured https in iPlanet and is able to access the same from an ordinary Java class. But when the same code snippet is moved to a bean/servlet in Tomcat& JBoss environment it is failing to recognise the https protocol. JSSE jar files are in the JBoss classpath.(lib\ext directory).
The error messages we are getting are ..
when the JSSE jars are in JBoss lib\ext only
java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol:https
when the JSSE jars are in <jre> lib\ext also/only
java.net.SocketException: SSL implementation not
available
It will be a great help if you can help us in solving this problem. Any info/ help will be appreciated.
The code snippet related to SSL
-
***************
System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs","com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");
System.setProperty
("javax.net.ssl.trustStore","samplecacerts");
Security.addProvider
(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
//appears these properties are not getting set !!!
***********
theUrl = new URL("https://myserver:9003/");
HttpsURLConnection con = null;
con = (HttpsURLConnection)theUrl.openConnection();
con.setAllowUserInteraction(true);
con.setUseCaches(false);
con.setRequestProperty("Un_Name","Un_Value");
