I’m developing a simple web services using Java EE Servlets.
My clients are a simple java apps (no browsers), so I need to secure my communication using TLS (or SSL v3). About Application server, I’m using Glassfish v3.
For example, I need to transfer some data from client to server within a HTTP Post Request into a secure connection.
There are some external libraries, server configurations or tutorial that can I use?
On the server side you must somehow expose your servlets via HTTPS. If you are using tomcat, check out SSL Configuration HOW-TO. If you have an Apache web server in front, see: Apache SSL/TLS Encryption.
On the client side ssl and https support is built into JDK, just call any
https://...address usingURLConnection. However remember that the certificate your server uses must be trusted – either confirmed by some authority or added manually on the client. Self-signed certificates by default won’t be accepted.
