WebServices Client on Weblogic 8.1 using HTTPS

Question

Hi All,
I have created a custom keystore file based on the SSL certificate obtained from the browser and then importing it into a java keystore file using the keytool.
I am trying to do something like this:
System.setProperty( "javax.net.ssl.trustStore", (this.getClass().getResource("/resources/abc.keystore")).getPath());
HostnameVerifier hv = new HostnameVerifier(){
public boolean verify(String urlHostName, SSLSession session) {
return true;
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(hv);
This part goes fine and System.getProperty gives me the proper class path.
After this, I am able to access the Web Service using eclipse and WL8.1 SP4. Though, the moment I deploy the application to the actual server (also using WL8.1 SP4), it throws the following exception:
AxisFault
faultCode: {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server.userException
faultSubcode:

Shouldn't things like this just work as is. If it is working on my windows machine in eclipse, I was expecting it to work hassle-free on the server. Any thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Rahul

Answer 1

So I added the DOCTYPE and now I get another error. And that is as follows:
ERROR: Error from ejbc: Error parsing file 'META-INF/ejb-jar.xml' at line: 5 column: 219. Attribute "xmlns:xsi" must be declared for element type "ejb-jar".
It seems that when the EJB is created, then it automatically creates the appropriate ejb-jar.xml and for some reason I guess the one it is creating this time is not good enough for Weblogic because first the DOCTYPE was missing and then after inserting the DOCTYPE I am getting the above error. Any help would be appreciated. This is the first time I am using Weblogic and this is a rather disheartening amount of progress I have made since last night! ;(
Thanks in advance for any help. If I am doing something silly please point it out so I can learn!
Cheers,
