I have a Servlet which needs to communicate with another servlet which
will probably be on another server somewhere. The data communicated
needs to be secured in some way so that the bad guys can't read it :)
We're thinking that using a https connection will be the most
convenient way, but when I try to connect using the following code in
the connecting servlet:
URL url = new URL("https://sirius:8443/docutrax/ConverterServlet";);
URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
con.setUseCaches(false);
con.setRequestProperty("CONTENT_TYPE", "application/octet-stream");
con.setDoInput(true);
con.setDoOutput(true);
ObjectoutputStream dataOut = new ObjectOutputStream(con.getOutputStream());
the last line throws an exception:
java.net.ssl.sslException unrecognized SSL handshake
I think this is because the servlet itself doesn't have access to
whatever encryption keys or SSL stuff that a normal browser would
use to initiate such a connection. Is there a way to connect to a
servlet from a servlet over https, or would I be better of going
for some other encryption technique such as the 3rd party software
we are considering using?
