BAD_CERTIFICATE error calling a web service over SSL in ALSB 2.6

723110Sep 17 2009 — edited Sep 18 2009
We have a business service on an ALSB 2.6 server (running on WL 9.2.1) that connects to a web service over SSL. When we try to run it, we get the following exception:

<Sep 17, 2009 7:49:17 AM PDT> <Error> <ALSB Kernel> <BEA-380001> <Exception on TransportManagerImpl.sendMessageToService, com.bea.

This exception only occurs when hitting the web service through the bus. I have written a standalone Java application that posts to the web service and it works fine. I ran the application on the server where the ALSB is running using the same jdk (1.5.0_06 - the version that ships with 9.2.1) and the same cacerts file so I know it's not a problem with the certificate not being trusted. I have tried updating the cacerts file to the latest one distributed with JRE 1.6 and it still doesn't work.

After 8 hours of troubleshooting, I'm out of ideas. Does anyone have any suggestiosn?

Thanks.

Matt
