(URGENT) Accessing HTTPS Web Service Endpoint

Question

I have a java class setup as a client to a web service. The endpoint address of the service is an https address. I can successfully connect to and invoke the web service when running my code outside the database. However, once I load the java classes into the database, I receive the following....
java.net.SocketException: SSL implementation not available
I have loaded all the necessary JSSE jar files into the database, and have them also in my ...jdk/jre/lib/ext folder. I have set system properties to extend the SocketFactories, as noted in some other posts...i.e.,
java.security.Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs", "com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");
java.security.Security.setProperty("ssl.SocketFactory.provider", "com.MyCo.MySoftware.MyProject.node.ssl.SSLSocketFactoryExt");
Can anyone give me any idea as to why this exception keeps happening...

Hi,
By default, your application tries to connect to the Net directly : if you have to specify a proxy, use either these lines in your code :
System.setProperty("http.proxySet", "true");
System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "proxy");
System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "8080");
Or specify them in the command line with the "-D"option.
Ex : java .... -Dhttp.proxySet=true .... MyApp
Hope it helps.
See ya
