servlet as SSL client

[Christian]

I am using JServ 1.0 with Apache on a Linux SUSE 6.2 machine.  For one of our application our servlet has to behave like a SSL client communicating with a SSL Server. As far as I understand it I should be able to receive information from the SSL server by installing SSL support on Apache. However, to do a https post from the servlet I'll need an SSL socket and https protocol driver (is that right?). For the SSL socket I was thinking about using one of the ones available on the web http://www-sp.iti.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/itissl/ http://www.OpenSSL.org/ However, I am not sure where to get the https protocol driver from. (I know Sun's JWS has it, but I like jserv a lot!)   Can anyone help me?   Christian Floerkemeier Software Engineer Adstrat b.v. The Netherlands
