HTTPS -- Working with .Net, Not Axis -- Call to Arms ;)

[Cory Wilkerson <cw...@travelnow.com>]

When my service is published at http://myservice.com/service, everything works just fine and well, however, when published at https, the client seems to fail (after regenerating client code with wsdl2java).

After stepping through the source, it's apparent that the SocketSocketFactory is returning a null factory for the https protocol. 
--------------------------------------------------------------
return factory.create(host, port, otherHeaders, useFullURL);
--------------------------------------------------------------
The sad thing is, .Net clients seem to work like a charm -- something I'm missing in Axis client configuration?

Specifically, I'm seeing:

issueCall:
     [java] AxisFault
     [java]  faultCode: {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server.userEx

     [java]  faultSubcode:
