Connecting to HTTPS webservice (through oracle- OC4J Jdeveloper)

[Will Kwee]

I am having issues while trying to connect to a webservice that require SSL. Has anybody seen similar exception below or any suggestion of how to setup the cert (using the DER X.509 since the PKCS #12 format not supported)?

WARNING: Unable to connect to URL: https://itsolutions/AppIntegration/org/test/sendRequest.jpd due to java.security.PrivilegedActionException: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Message send failed: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
java.rmi.RemoteException: ; nested exception is:

I've seen this.

What you need to do is provide a keystore with the target server's SSL certificate.

Then you need to make your program aware of it. Here is how I did it:

File kstore = new File("./security/sslStore.jks");
boolean exists = kstore.exists();
if(!exists) {
throw new mypkg.KeyStoreNotFoundException(kstore.getName());
}

System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", kstore.getAbsolutePath());
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "password");

After that, the system will be able to verify the target server's SSL cert.
