Question

I recently migrated my web services from Axis to CXF (2.1). It appears that while Axis needed the “axis.socketSecureFactory” set, CXF grabs the default. How do I set the default SocketFactory in Java to my own implementation (such as a property)?

What I am not looking to do is to set the default SocketFactory properties like setting the property for my truststore, keystore and passwords.

Answer 1

According to the OpenJDK7 source code for javax.net.SocketFactory, the Sun JVM is hard coded to return a javax.net.DefaultSocketFactory for getDefault();

Edit: However, the default SSLSocketFactory can be set by the security property ssl.SocketFactory.provider
