Java SSL communication

Question

I am trying to make SSL communication between client/server.

So far I have created java.security.cert.X509Certificate from a keystore. What should I do next in order to make this communication successful. Any example will be helpful.

What comunication do you use? Some framework or App Servers (Tomcat) are used? — alexey28, May 31 '12 at 06:22

You don't need that.

Follow all the instructions in the JSSE Reference Guide.

But one of my senior told that I will use this certificate for communication. Also I am not finding any help from your link. Can you please point to one example? – Muhammad Imran Tariq May 31 '12 at 09:07
@imran You need a private key and a *certificate.* What you don't need is a `java.security.cert.X509Certificate`: that's an object in a running Java program, produced by loading from a certificate file or a keystore. JSSE does all that for you. I can't imagine why you didn't find the official reference guide helpful, and the code examples that it provides. – user207421 May 31 '12 at 12:08
Yes. As I was unaware of what I should do. If you mention this early then it was good as I spent a lot of time on coming to a point. – Muhammad Imran Tariq May 31 '12 at 12:11
@imrantariq I cannot see the point of this comment. You seem to be just shooting the messenger and blaming me for your own time management issues. – user207421 May 31 '12 at 19:39

You don't need any of that to solve this problem. You can accomplish all that via the system properties mentioned in the document I cited. – user207421 May 31 '12 at 19:32
I don't want to use system properties. Is there any other way to do so? – Muhammad Imran Tariq Jun 06 '12 at 10:56
The answer you cited is another way, and it doesn't use system properties. How many ways do you need exactly? – user207421 Jun 07 '12 at 02:21
@EJP I only need this way that I cited please. – Muhammad Imran Tariq Jun 07 '12 at 05:13
So therefore you don't need to ask for another way. So, don't ask for another way. – user207421 Jun 07 '12 at 05:15
This way use HttpsURLConnection for communication. But to send and Soap response I am using SOAPConnection. HttpsURLConnection can set conn.setSSLSocketFactory(sslFactory); but SOAPConnection cannot. – Muhammad Imran Tariq Jun 07 '12 at 05:48
@EJP: Did you look into it? How to set sslFactory in SOAPConnection? http://stackoverflow.com/q/10897881/420613 – Muhammad Imran Tariq Jun 11 '12 at 13:23
