Hi, I have an Axis2 1.4.1 SOAP client (code generated with wsdl2java using XMLBeans) and can use this client successfully to execute operations on a remote server which only accepts SOAP/ssl (https) requests. I do not configure something special: I simply take the "https:..." URL as it is, and use it, and Axis2 together with the accompanying libraries does the remaining.
But the client code is part of a J2EE application deployed on IBM WebSphere 6.0.2, and this application also has to make calls to the IBM WebSphere AdminClient interface to deal with some specific things on the local server. The IBM WebSphere AdminClient also makes use of SOAP/ssl to contact the desired server which is simply the local host in this case. Now I encounter a silly phenomenon: When the first SOAP/ssl connection during VM life time is initiated by the AdminClient (which is not configurable regarding the SSL connection setup) and Axis2 comes behind, everything works fine. But when the first SOAP/ssl connection during VM life time is initiated by Axis2 (which simply uses its default scheme of operation to establish a https connection to a remote host), then AdminClient fails to connect permanently, but Axis2 keeps being fine all the time. I raised a PMR at IBM on this issue, but it languishes, and currently they suspect that the application's client code is to be blamed. I have no problem with that generally, but I cannot see any way to influence the actual ssl configuration or setup for Axis2 1.4.1 SOAP client operation so as to consort better with the AdminClient. Does anyone know how to configure Axis2 1.4.1 to explicitly select the cipher, algorithm, keystore or the like for ssl? What about that magic axis2.xml config file? I did not figure out yet what to put in there at all, where to put the file and how to locate it then to make it work for a *client*... its all nebulous to me... Thanks in advance, -- Dipl.-Inform.
