Help dearly appreciated for the following:
I have installed soap2-2 and all of the necessary java classes. I have
many years of prog experience but am fairly new to java, and completely
new to soap.
I want to connect to a soap server to process financial txs. The basic
problem is that their url is
https:// ...
The soap docs talk only about using http.
I downloaded all the java classes and have a java class that compiles, and
partly executes. It does find a stream handler for https. The ultimate
error that I get is
[SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Client; msg=Error opening socket: null;
targetException=java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Error opening socket:
null]
at
org.apache.soap.transport.http.SOAPHTTPConnection.send(SOAPHTTPConnection.java:324)
at org.apache.soap.messaging.Message.send(Message.java:123)
at samples.beanstream.Approver.Process(Approver.java:49)
at samples.beanstream.Approver.main(Approver.java:104)
The soap server in question is part of the microsoft product suite, but I
am not in a position to install the client side of the ms soap
implementation. From a lot of reading, I don't see why, given proper xml
and so on, that I should not be able to connect to this server.
Pointers to information on using soap with HTTPS would be truly
appreciated.
Thanks
Bert
