This looks like a client side error (SOAP-ENV:Client), not a server side
error. Did you code up your client in such a way that it works with the
particular SSL implementation you're using? If you use JSSE, you have
to set up several things.

Subject: SSL/Apache SOAP 2.2
Question regarding Apache SOAP and SSL: if I am running the SOAP
rpcrouter servlet in an app server behind a web server that supports
SSL, do I need to do anything special to enable SSL in the SOAP servlet?
My assumption is that I should not need to. I assume that the web server
(iPlanet 4.1, in this case) would handle the encryption/decryption and
simply forward the decrypted HTTP request to the SOAP servlet (vice
versa for the servlet response). If this is true, then the servlet need
not be SSL-aware.
However, I have not found this to be the case. When I access the
rpcrouter servlet using standard HTTP, everything works fine (I have
successfully tested the connection using the stockquote sample that
comes with the SOAP 2.2 SDK). However, when I attempt to connect to the
same service using HTTPS, I get the following error:
https://ninthgate.tvisions.com/soap/servlet/rpcrouter
<https://ninthgate.tvisions.com/soap/servlet/rpcrouter>
[SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Client; msg=Error opening socket:
null; targetException=java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Error opening
socket: null]
I don't understand what would cause the error. As long as it is
performing all interaction with the client using the doPost() method and
the response object, why would the servlet itself care about the
protocol? I haven't yet looked at the source for the servlet, but I plan
to do so this morning. Any insight anyone can offer in the meantime is
much appreciated.
My app server configuration is as follows:
iPlanet WS 4.1
Dynamo Application Server 5.1.1
Apache SOAP 2.2 and all required libraries
The SOAP servlet is running in the Dynamo server, not the iPlanet
server.
Thanks for your help.
