Help!Applet calling JAX-RPC Webservice over HTTPS

[gmc gmc]

Hi
I am havng problems accessing a https enabled webservice using an applet.
Basic set up is
- Applet loaded via browser https
- https Weblogic exposed Webservce - based on Session bean
- Tried using Weblogic supplied Webserviceclient and Apache Axis client.

The applet works fine when the webservice is specified as http but not using https. Basic problem appears to be the need to open a new https session with weblogic server, but can I not use the browser session?

Very stuck, so any help appreciated!
