AIX 5.2 Java 1.3.1 and 1.4 SecureWebServer IOException

[John Southerland]

All, I have recently tried to move my xmlrpc server app to a new os, AIX 5.2 running Java 1.3.1 and tried 1.4, every time I try to startup a SecureWebServer, that works fine in Solaris and Linux, I get an IOException from the constructor with the text: “com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider” I realize this is most likely an IBM JRE issue, but the security properties look fine, and I am definitely not overriding the system wide configuration. This is actually a simple configuration, and since it works well on other operating systems, I was wondering if anyone else has encountered errors like this, or has any ideas on how I should continue.  I’m now officially stumped.   Also, To add some comedy to this https problem, my non secure “backup” non ssl webserver (also the builtin xmlrpc server) starts fine on the server but the client gets an IOException on connect with the text “Remote host closed connection during handshake”, not much of a backup connectivity method is it?   So please help me if you can, am I crazy, or is IBM to blame?
