Here is how I get it working, but I am not sure if this is a viable approach because I ended up modifying org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClient class a little. My example & how to run it are very similar to a previous posting by Martin Redington,
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00480.html The modification to XmlRpcClient class is from, http://saloon.javaranch.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=7&t=007870 I needed to implement HostnameVerifier although I didn't want to....SecureXmlRpcClient didn't work for some reason without the modification. A Server example is here; http://www.students.uiuc.edu/~sko/xmlrpc/SecureServer.java A Client example is here; http://www.students.uiuc.edu/~sko/xmlrpc/SecureClient.java The patch is here; http://www.students.uiuc.edu/~sko/xmlrpc/xmlrpc-1.1-XmlRpcClient.patch In order to test it, you need to creat keystores and a truststore. Basically, you can follow JSSE reference guide; http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/security/jsse/JSSERefGuide.html#CreateKeystore Here is what I did; % keytool -genkey -alias server -keyalg RSA -validity 7 -keystore keystore Enter keystore password: server ...(follow the guide) % keytool -export -alias server -keystore keystore -rfc -file server.cer Enter keystore password: server ... % keytool -import -alias servercert -file server.cer -keystore truststore Enter keystore password: trustword ... % keytool -genkey -alias client -keyalg RSA -validity 7 -keystore client_keystore Enter keystore password: client ... These steps will creat keystore, truststore, server.cer, and client_keystore. These files should be in your directory with *.class files. Put xmlrpc-1.1.jar in your classpath, then it would work. My xmlrpc version is 1.1 and java version is 1.4.0. Again, any comments will be appreciated. - Steve Ko
