WebServices using SSL

[Daniel Xia <Da...@theice.com>]

Is there anybody out there have experience setting up Axis to allow
"https" as the protocol instead of just "http".  The documentation of
Axis is not clear on this at all. (This is same for most stuff out
there; it becomes really vague when it comes to SSL).  I am using Tomcat
4 as my app server.  The first problem I encountered with
"out-of-the-box" Axis is that the WSDL2Java failed when the end point
using "https" and it complains that the end point is not valid.
 
Thanks in advance.

I suggest trying one of the nightly builds.  I had a similar problem that
was recently fixed.

I had also problems trying to make Axis connect using SSL. I tried
several things. Since I wanted to make the connection from my web
application, and didn't want to use the same keystore for all
applications in the web server including the web server itself, I did
some tricky stuff with the J2EE libs, which however was completely in
sync with the specification and therefore supposed to work.

But it didn't. After that I tried it using the simplest setup I could
think of, but it still didn't work.

When I looked more closely, it appeared that Axis simply took some of
the URL properties I passed in, and created a new URL, and therefore
completely bypassing the URLStreamHandler I passed in with the
constructor. This seems to be a violation of what you are supposed to do
with a URL, but I'm still talking to the javasoft guys if it is.

Anyhow, I quited trying, and I installed s_tunnel instead.

I too would be interested, 
 
I have successfully got a self signed certificate and tomcat working on
https but when axis services are attempted nothing appears.
