Tom Schroedl commented on CXF-1459:
-----------------------------------
I haven't encountered any other issues. However, on my next project, the same
issue came up. This time it was in a Java 6 application. The app was using CXF
for making web service connections to external services that required client
PKI authentication, and the app was also using Tibco Java client libraries for
JMS over SSL. I discovered the root of the problem was the Tibco libs were
setting the following Java system property:
java.protocol.handler.pkgs=com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol
This was ultimately causing my CXF web service client to throw a class cast
exception when it attempted to make a secure connection. Let me explain why
this occurs..
The java.protocol.handler.pkgs system property is a list of package name
prefixes used by Java to resolve protocol names into actual handler class
names. As of v1.4, JSSE has been integrated into the J2SDK. Thus, the classes
formerly in com.sun.net.ssl have been promoted to the javax.net.ssl package and
are now a part of the standard JSSE API.
For compatibility purposes the com.sun.net.ssl classes and interfaces still
exist, but have been deprecated. Applications written using them can run in the
J2SDK v1.4 and later without being recompiled. **Thus, setting the system
property causes Java to use the deprecated implementation.**
The problem with CXF comes in because it assumes the newer handler package
structure when it attempts to decorate the underlying connection with your
TLSClientParameters.
I was not able to get past the Tibco library setting this property no matter
what I did, so I decided to modify the CXF source, which worked. The workaround
involved checking the type of the https url connection. It only handles the
com.sun.net.ssl case, but could easily be enhanced to check for and handle the
WebLogic (weblogic.net.http) case.
Sorry if this was a lot, hopefully will be of help to someone.
