nullpointer at SSLSocketFactory.createSocket(SSLSocketFactory.java:362)

[v vilches]

I am attempting to make a HTTPS POST call from my Websphere application. Locally on my machine the below code works but when I move it up to the development environment it gives a null pointer exception on the below line.

URL url = null;
HttpsURLConnection conn = null;
thirdpartyComponentFacade.setErrorMessage( null );

try {

url = new URL(enrollmentSSOURL);

conn = (HttpsURLConnection)url.openConnection();

conn.setDoInput (true);
conn.setDoOutput (true);
conn.setUseCaches (false);
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");


conn.setConnectTimeout(Integer.parseInt(connectTimeout));
conn.setReadTimeout(Integer.parseInt(readTimeout));

System.out.println("Connect: " + conn.toString());

DataOutputStream output = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream()); --> NullPointer:

stacktrace:

There could be multiple scenarios where you can experience such NullPointerException.

Could you please paste the complete error stack trace here.

Few of the common SSL issues are listed below.
