Hello everyone, I am both new to Axis and new to this mailing list, so I apologize in advance if my questions are simple or have been covered...
I am trying to use Axis 1.4 to develop a simple application that will test a web service that is deployed on a private network. As a first step, I am trying to generate stub code using the WSDL2Java tool. Because the server is https & uses an IP only, my command line resembles this: java org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java --username user --password pass https://192.168.1.150:8443/example-ws/services/SimpleExample?wsdl When I run this, I get the following exception: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target <exception stack truncated> Questions: 1. I assume that the reason this is happening is because the server is using a self-signed certificate, and the JVM cannot validate it. Is this assumption correct? 2. How can I get around this problem? (Note that I do not have administrative access to the server, so making changes on that end is probably not possible). Thanks in advance for any help or references, James -- james a. cubeta
