Question

I am getting Soap Response from this code

SOAPConnectionFactory sfc = SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance();
SOAPConnection connection = sfc.createConnection();
SOAPMessage soapMessageResponse = connection.call(soapRequest, new URL(serviceLocation));

How can I make it SSL based?

I know how to create SSLSocketFactory from SSLContext giving my specified keystore.

How can I tell SOAPConnection class about SSLSocketFactory or SSLContext? So that my communication can be secured.

I do not want to set keystore in system property or xml file. I am using Websphere 7.

Answer 1

This line of code will not work in case of SSL.

SOAPMessage soapMessageResponse = connection.call(soapRequest, new URL(serviceLocation));

In order to get response through SSL from axis2 webservice you need to open streams like given [here][1].
