Hi,

There's a vote on "jakarta-general" to have Jakarta sponsor
"not-yet-commons-ssl" for incubation.  I thought Synapse might be
interested.

I recently did an "alpha" release (0.3.7) of "not-yet-commons-ssl" to
help interop with Oleg's NIO-SSL stuff.

http://juliusdavies.ca/commons-ssl/

Here's a code example:

==============================
SSLClient client = new SSLClient();

// Let's trust usual "cacerts" that come with Java.
// (This is actually redundant unless a previous
// setTrustMaterial() had wiped out the DEFAULT trust.)
client.addTrustMaterial( TrustMaterial.DEFAULT );

// Plus, let's also trust a self-signed cert.
client.addTrustMaterial( new TrustMaterial( "/path/to/self-signed.pem" ) );

// To be different, let's allow for expired certificates (not recommended).
client.setCheckExpiry( false );
client.setCheckCRL( true );

// Let's load a client certificate.  Can be OpenSSL style PEM
// or Netscape PCKS12 or Java Keystore format.
// Max: 1 private-key per SSLClient instance.
KeyMaterial km;
km  = new KeyMaterial( "/path/to/client.pfx", "secret".toCharArray() );
client.setKeyMaterial( km );

// Get the SSLContext object to feed into Oleg's SSL-NIO module.
SSLContext context = client.getSSLContext();

// [later....]
String hostname = "mydomain.com";
X509Certificate cert = extractFromSSLSession();  // however you do that

// It will throw an SSLException if verification fails.
HostnameVerifier.DEFAULT.check( hostname, cert );
=========================================


not-yet-common-ssl also includes good support for hostname
verification in all its sundry variations (wildcards, subject alt
names, both at the same time!).  But when using NIO-SSL you need to
extract the X509Certificate and pass it into the
HostnameVerifier.DEFAULT object.  It's not automatic with NIO.  It's
only automatic with the blocking SSL.

We based our hostname verification on this documentation:
