You might want to confirm if that is a problem, by doing some dependency
injection from your cxf.xml to your SOAP client, e.g., passing in a string
("Hello World!") from the cxf.xml to your client code, and having the latter
output or log that value.  Does it get that message?

BTW, here's an alternative to client creation that might fix your
problem--look at here:

Using JaxWsProxyFactoryBean may be just what you need.

That's a shame, because I'm nearly certain that is the heart of your
problem--CXF clients read a local (on-machine) version of the WSDL first,
and from that WSDL's wsdl:service's soap:address, use that URL.  If that
local wsdl's address is http:// instead of https://, you will get that
error.  While CXF clients will indeed reload the WSDL from the remote server
as you're saying above, the first step--that of determining the address of
the remote server to begin with--comes from that local WSDL.  Where is that
local WSDL?  It is normally hardcoded in the JAX-WS generated *Service.java
class--I would start hunting for it there, and when you find that WSDL,
changing its address to https://.

Hi Glen,

I tried indeed to setup the communication with the JaxWsProxyFactoryBean, that worked!
I already had some suspect as you state below that 'local' and 'remote' Settings concerning
the HTTP(S) protocol conflict with each other.
So the JaxWsProxyFactoryBean approach gave me the impression that everything was handled
locally, that is, the endpoint with https was used.
But thank you very much for the explanations.

bye

In the wsdl was no valid URL, just a placeholder: http://replace_with_actual_url.
I didn't pay attention to this..., but now I understand the URL resolving mechanism.
Again, thanks a lot for this information.
