Run Axis client over SSL

[Dominic Steng�rd]

Hey fellow Java Coders,

From what Ive understood a basic web services client using Axis support classes could look as follows:

public void fetchWebServicesData() {
try {
String endpoint = "https://service.javaranch.com/testing.asmx";
 
Service service = new Service();
Call call = (Call) service.createCall();
call.setTargetEndpointAddress(new java.net.URL(endpoint));
call.setOperationName("GetTestingResult");
Integer ret = (Integer) call.invoke(new Object [] {"1"});  
System.out.println("Got: " + ret);

} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e.toString());
logger.error("Error occured while getting data from JavaRanch", e);
}
}

My question is:
What steps are necessary to make this client run over SSL with 128 bits encryption?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards

The J2EE Security for Servlets, EJB and Web Services sample chapter Chapter 11: Web Service Security describes the necessary steps in "SSL Security for Web Services" (page 16).

Some additional information can be found in the Java Web Services in a Nutshell sample chapter SAAJ under "setting up the client system" (page 156).
