Hi there, I had exactly the same exception, and it turned out to be a certificate issue...
The client is running on WinNT workstation and the server on WinNT Server, so I'm not sure whether it is a Win95/98 issue...

I thought that as well, so I tried it on antoher machine which had a mostly clean installation of 98.. same thing happened... I am think do I need to upgrade the winsock or something? I remember reading about that somewheres..

Hi, It sounds like you have something already running on the port that SSL uses or there is software such as a firewall, etc. blocking that port number. Phill -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Levy To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 12/11/01 4:02 PM Subject: SSL/SOAP: Error opening socket - only in 95/98... HI, my set up is as follows: Apache 1.3.22 with mod_ssl 2.61 OPENSSL 0.9.5 Tomcat 3.3 SOAP 2.2 JSSE 1.0.2 I have a SOAP client that works perfectly with and without SSL when running the client from Windows 2000 or XP. However when I try to test the client from 95/98 with SSL I get the following error: [SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Client; msg=Error opening socket: null; targetException=java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Error opening socket:null] I don't know if the problem is with SSL, when I run my client with the following option -Djavax.net.debug=SSL , I don't get any additional information... But none the less it works if I don't use SSL... Thanks Jeremy _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
