Question

I have java app that uses Axis to get data from web service. web service is accessed via HTTPS. It works fine on my local PC, but customer uses proxy. I added setting for proxy:

System.getProperties().put( "proxySet", "true" );
System.getProperties().put( "proxyHost", host);
System.getProperties().put( "proxyPort", port);
Authenticator.setDefault(new Authenticator() {
    protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
        return new PasswordAuthentication(username,
            password.toCharArray());
    }
});

but customers get exception:

faultDetail: 
    {http://xml.apache.org/axis/}stackTrace:javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Unrecognized SSL message, plaintext connection?
    at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.InputRecord.handleUnknownRecord(Unknown Source)
    at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.InputRecord.read(Unknown Source)
    at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.readRecord(Unknown Source)

    at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.startHandshake(Unknown Source)
    at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.startHandshake(Unknown Source)
    ...

Can anybody help here?

Was unable to solve this problem. Our app was rewritten using plain HTTP POST requests (with Apache HTTPClient 3.0), i.e. without Axis.
