Constantin: please post your thoughts about the work needed for this task. Consider also the #2181 which is being worked now.

#2 Updated by Ovidiu Maxiniuc over 8 years ago

At this moment I was able to communicate with a WSDL web-service but for the moment only over HTTP.

The problem is that, for accessing web-services, we rely on AXIS2 library. I checked the AXIS2 documentation and it should be very simple to switch to SSL, just by selecting the "https" in transportSender / CommonsHTTPTransportSender. However, I don't think this is what we really need since we loose access to customizations noted in #2181. The same stands for the sever-side. For the moment, AXIS2 is handling low-level transport in background, using dedicated classes that are different than ours.

I will try to find a solution/API that would allow us to use our socket implementation (replacing its transportSender with our own implementation of sockets), but I hardly doubt we can use the same classes we are using on the client-side when working with P4GL networking.

#3 Updated by Ovidiu Maxiniuc over 8 years ago

I believe I found a solution for the problem. It is possible to use a custom socket factory. I am already doing that. There are are couple issues o fix:
  • the factory callback does not provides all information I need when instantiating the socket. The solution could be the properties, but I must investigate if and where they can be set.
  • have to avoid an eventual double handshake in the case of secure connections.
