Using javax.net.ssl.HttpsUrlConnection in weblogic server

All,

When you deploy a Java Code using java.net.URL object in weblogic server, on opening a connection using URL object, instead of getting the standard javax.net.ssl.HttpsUrlConnection it will return weblogic.net.http.SOAPHttpsURLConnection

Even if you try to type cast it, you will get class cast exception as these 2 classes are not compatible. You may not like to use the weblogic.net.http.SOAPHttpsURLConnection class also as the method signature is different

To overcome the issue, a simple replacement of the code below would work

Instead of creating a URL object using standard constructor like

URL wsURL = new URL(wsLoc + “?command=login”);

Use

java.net.URL wsURL = new URL(null, wsLoc + “?command=login”,new sun.net.www.protocol.https.Handler());
