Calling a web service with self-signed SSL certificate

 

Say you want to invoke a remote web service deployed on a server that requires SSL. Say, the maintainers of the server couldn't (ot could not be bothered) getting a real, shiny, authetic, SSL certificate signed by a real CA. Or - more likely - let's say you are the one developing the service and the service consumer, and you don't have a valid certificate for each of your development machines (as you may know, ssl certificates are specific to a machine).

Problem: your http client used to access the service will never pass the ssl handshake.

Publish a WebService from a POJA with Java 6

An article demonstrating a neat Java 6 SE feature: publishing a SOAP web service from a standalone application. This may be quite useful for prototyping, testing, building slim gateways that expose a WS on the outside and connect to an internal JVM process on the inside without the need for a full blown container. How can this be done? using the magical @WebService annotation and a call to Endpoint.publish(url, serviceObj). Ooops! I've ruined the surprise.

Dynamic Web Services Framework for Pontis

I'd like to summarize the project I made for Pontis. In the attachments there are 2 presentations: a presentation about metaprogramming, Pontis kernel and web services in Java. The second presentation is only about web services in java, with little more details.

Also there is a sample project which demonstrates simplified deployment method for Axis2. To run it, you need to add all Axis2 jars and dependencies into WEB-INF/lib.

These are web resources used for preparing the java webservices part of the presentation:
