Web Service Using SSL issue

Question

I have a web service that has been working fine using http. Just switched over to SSL using the <WLHttpsTransport> tag on the jwsc ant command. Now I get the following error at runtime: Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks in advance - Craig

Answer 1

I thought I would post an update since I found a solution. The problem was a ClassCast exception in a part of the SSL stack, that wanted to use the ant BuildException class. This has the effect of hiding the real issue which was that the SSL connection was not successfully occuring. The real problem was that the SSL connection started with a WSDL retrieved via SSL, but the connection for the port was through a username/password. When a username/password is used to create a port, the WL stack falls back to http and causes a ClassCast exception on weblogic.wsee.connection.transport.http.HttpTransportInfo. The solution is to create an https transport object when the service impl is created:
HttpsTransportInfo transport = new HttpsTransportInfo ();
transport.setUsername (user.getBytes ());
transport.setPassword (pass.getBytes ());
gServiceImpl = new PersistenceManagerService_Impl (url, transport);
and to create the port without parameters:
port = getServiceImpl ().getPersistenceManagerServicePort ();
This allows one-way SSL with username/password for the connection.
