Calling web service with SSL (HTTPS) hangs client stub

Question

If anyone can help it would make my day! I've spent way too much time on this!!!
I'm running:
- Web service is running on Linux RedHat with Oracle9iAS 9.0.3
- Client is running from Windows XP under Jdeveloper
I've successfully installed and run the web security demo "ws_security" at http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/java/web_services/wssecurity/ws_security.jar.
This demo goes through installing the web service, certificates, etc... and the demo runs fine. I'm also able to connect to the web service from a browser using https://server1:4443/CreditCardValidator/CreditCardValidator. I can download the proxy, look at the WSDL, etc...
Now I've written my own very simple stateless java class web service, deployed it to 9iAS , and then downloaded the proxy stub jar. Using the proxy stub I can call my web service and everything works fine.
Then I configure the web service to use HTTPS by making the following changes to the proxy stub (per the ws_security demo).
1) Copy the following 5 lines to the proxy stub
System.setProperty("ssl.SocketFactory.provider","oracle.security.ssl.OracleSSLSocketFactoryImpl");
System.setProperty("ssl.ServerSocketFactory.provider","oracle.security.ssl.OracleSSLServerSocketFactoryImpl");
System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs","HTTPClient");
System.setProperty("oracle.wallet.location","C:\\Data\\Oracle\\WALLETS\\ws_security\\wallet.txt");
System.setProperty("oracle.wallet.password","thewalletpassword");
2) modify the "m_soapURL" by changing "http" to "https" and the port number to 4443
3) add the following 3 jar files to my projects library class list:
C:\Program Files\jdev9031\jlib\jssl-1_2.jar
C:\Program Files\jdev9031\jdk\jre\lib\ext\jcert.jar
C:\Program Files\jdev9031\lib\jsse.jar;C:\Program Files\jdev9031\jlib\javax-ssl-1_2.jar
When I run the proxy stub it just hangs. I've traced the hang to the "Response response = call.invoke(new URL(m_soapURL), soapActionURI);" statement in the "makeSOAPCallRPC" method in the proxy stub.
Again, this works fine if I simply change the "m_soapURL" to use "http" instead of "https". It looks like it's hanging on the client side and the call is never making it to the server.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!!!

Answer 1

Could you explain it a little more, please.
Since my first message, I used the wallet manager to add the certificate the server where the web service is at, uses.
What else do I need to make it work??
Thanks in advance again.
