Nimbostratusmultii-dimension array SOAPException
I'm using the SOAP api for iControl v9 within IBM's Rational Application Developer. Things have been going pretty well. (Your XTrustProvider is great!)
Problem: Attempting to invoke L...
1) I downloaded icontrol 9.0 zip file from devcentral. I would appreciate if you let me know how did you make jar file using java with in websphere 5.1.1 for icontrol.
The jar file I provide to you was created by running the make script in the axis subdirectory on the SDK. A section of this script runs WSDL2Java (part of Apache Axis) on the wsdl files. This will put the bindings in the bindings subdirectory. I went into that directory and compiled all the java files with the javac command and this created .class files. I then moved them into another directory (to get rid of the sources) and ran jar to create the archive.
2) Once we have icontrol jar file. To execute "LocalLBPool.java" with in Websphere 5.1.1, what other jar files do I need. I have downloaded "XTrustProvider.java" and I am using "XTrustProvider.install();" in my "LocalLBPool.java".
The only jar files you should need beyond that are the ones distributed with Apache Axis and the JSSE provider libraries. I'm getting a feeling that this is the issue you are running into as I've heard that WebSphere has it's own version of those libraries. Since I've never used WebSphere I'm not quite sure the details around that. Hopefully someone else out there who is successfully making secure webservice calls from within WebSphere can chime in and help out with configuration.
The XTrustProvider is just another java file that you can include in your project. It hooks into the JSSE layer to allow self-signed certificates in the local acceptance policy.
