HTTPS over SSL/TLS
Hello,
Java has full support for HTTPS over SSL/TLS. So I was wondering if it solve all problems of internet communications, what do you guys think about it?
And what is the advantage to use HTTPS over SSL/TLS instead implement a algorithm to encrypt my data and transmit it trougth the internet?

It doesn't 'solve all problems of internet communications'.
It solves the security problem, in conjuction with application-level authorisation of the remote peer.
It's considerably better than rolling your own: (a) it's already built; (b) it has about 15 years of development behind it, so (c) it closes a large number of security loopholes you probably won't even think of.
BTW your subject line is wrong. HTTPS is HTTP over TLS/SSL.
