I am happy to reoport that HttpClient works with Sun's JSSE under weblogic
7.0.
I installed the JSSE jars as extensions (jre/lib/ext), and set the provider
information explicitly in the code instead of java.security file.
System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs","com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ww
w.protocol");
java.security.Security.addProvider(new
com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
I also added the server certificates to cacerts file. One small twist here
was the fact that I had to add all the certificates in the server
certificate chain since Entrust (the root CA used) is not available by
default in the original cacerts file shipped by Sun.
I am still unable to get HttpClient working with weblogic's native SSL
implementation. I think this may be related to the policy setup. As per
weblogic's example, I only set the following property...there is no
equivalent addProvider call.
System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs", "weblogic.net");
Good for now.
Om.
