SSL Web Service Client

[Bernhard Haeussermann]

Hi. I have a web service that uses SSL running a Glassfish application server.
Its web.xml looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>    
<web-app    
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"    
    xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"    
    xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"    
    xsi:schemaLocation="    
        http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee    
        http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"    
        id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5">    
    <display-name>SecureService</display-name>
    <security-constraint>    
        <display-name>SecurityConstraint</display-name>    
        <web-resource-collection>    
            <web-resource-name>Secure Area</web-resource-name>    
            <url-pattern>/SecureService</url-pattern>    
               
            <!--    
                JSR-109 specifies that http-method POST must be used.    
                If we include GET here, access to the WSDL will also    
                be protected, otherwise not.    
             -->
            <http-method>POST</http-method>
        </web-resource-collection>
           
        <!--    
            Plain SSL and mutual authentication both require CONFIDENTIAL    
            transport-guarantee to be configured.    
        -->    
        <user-data-constraint>    
            <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>    
        </user-data-constraint>    
    </security-constraint>    
</web-app> 

Now, when I create a client for this web service and generate the client-stubs with Eclipse's "New Web Service Client" wizard, there is no problem.
However, when I do this with wsimport using the following Ant-file:

<project default="wsimport">
	<target name="wsimport" description="Generate client-stubs">
		<exec executable="wsimport">
		    <arg line="-keep -s ./src -d ./build/classes http://ec2-174-129-234-13.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8080/secureservice/SecureService?wsdl"/>
		</exec>
	</target>
</project>

the code generation is successful, but when I try to do a web service call I get this exception:

Exception in thread "main" com.sun.xml.ws.server.UnsupportedMediaException: Unsupported Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Supported ones are: [text/xml]

I also made the web method in the web service write a message to standard output when it is called, but the method doesn't even seem to be called!
What am I doing wrong?

Misunderstood question, see new reply below!

[Bernhard Haeussermann]

I created a new plain Java project and generated the artifacts using the Ant script

<project default="wsimport">
	<target name="wsimport" description="Generate client-stubs">
		<exec executable="wsimport">
		    <arg line="-keep -s ./src -d ./bin http://ec2-174-129-234-13.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8080/secureservice/SecureService?wsdl"/>
		</exec>
	</target>
</project>

but I get exactly the same error when I try to do a web service call.
Note that when I use the "New Web Service Client" wizard the web service call is successful.

Sorry, I misread your question!
Take a look at my SCDJWS study notes, in which I describe how to develop a plain Java client connecting to both a service requiring SSL and a service requiring mutual authentication: http://faq.javaranch.com/content/Exam-Objectives-5.pdf
The tutorial can be found in section 8.3, starting at page 235.
Best wishes!
