In short download and install JSSE and amend the server.bat with the following:
Set JAVA_MEMSET=-ms%JAVA_MIN_MEM%-mx%JAVA_MAX_MEM%-Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=“com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol”

Thanks Topster for the solution,
It did solve the problem.

What We did is , In the Java code added the line
System.getProperties().setProperty(“java.protocol.handler.pkgs”,
“com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol”);

In the webMethods service . After the call to the java class’s method is completed, we reset the above property back to the original value .
Hoping that the HTTPs Listner wont get messed up in this way.
System.getProperties().setProperty(“java.protocol.handler.pkgs”,
“com.wm.net.protocol”);

Hi All,
We are trying to hit a URL using https call using a third party API,but we get error “java.lang.RuntimeException: Illegal call to webMethods https protocol handler”.On the other hand same call using http is giving proper response.

Do we need to download JSSE.jar.If so where it is to be placed,from where to download and which version.After that is it required to change server.bat as above?

Is there any other solution?

read an action the thread link and all will work as shown above

1. download and install JSSE
2. in your custom code, using in-built service to set https protocol handler to com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol, after call has been made rest this to com.wm.net.protocol

hth

Thanks for help! It worked now . But now we are facing another problem.
When we try to run a java service from webMethods we get “No trusted certificates found Error”.Same code is running if we are running as standalone java code.Attached is the code.

What could be the problem?

Hi,
I am facing same problem. I am trying to access https URL in java service using Web Method Developer.
I already have jsse.jar at location /Program Files/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/lib on my webmethod server and I am setting following values:

// Dynamic registration of JSSE provider
java.security.Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
// Need to be set
System.getProperties().setProperty(“java.protocol.handler.pkgs”,
“com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol”);

Is this right? I get the error as →
com.wm.app.b2b.server.ServiceException:
com.wm.app.b2b.server.ServiceSetupException:
java.lang.NoClassDeffoundError:
com/sun/net/ssl/Internal/ssl/Provider

Please suggest.

Thanks
