The answer of delfuego is the simplest way to solve the certificate problem. But, in my case, one of our third party url (using https), updated their certificate every 2 months automatically. It means that I have to import the cert to our Java trust store manually every 2 months as well. Sometimes it caused production problems.
So, I made a method to solve it with SecureRestClientTrustManager to be able to consume https url without importing the cert file. Here is the method:
public static String doPostSecureWithHeader(String url, String body, Map headers)
throws Exception {
log.info("start doPostSecureWithHeader " + url + " with param " + body);
long startTime;
long endTime;
startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
Client client;
client = Client.create();
WebResource webResource;
webResource = null;
String output = null;
try{
SSLContext sslContext = null;
SecureRestClientTrustManager secureRestClientTrustManager = new SecureRestClientTrustManager();
sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
sslContext
.init(null,
new javax.net.ssl.TrustManager[] { secureRestClientTrustManager },
null);
DefaultClientConfig defaultClientConfig = new DefaultClientConfig();
defaultClientConfig
.getProperties()
.put(com.sun.jersey.client.urlconnection.HTTPSProperties.PROPERTY_HTTPS_PROPERTIES,
new com.sun.jersey.client.urlconnection.HTTPSProperties(
getHostnameVerifier(), sslContext));
client = Client.create(defaultClientConfig);
webResource = client.resource(url);
if(headers!=null && headers.size()>0){
for (Map.Entry entry : headers.entrySet()){
webResource.setProperty(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
}
}
WebResource.Builder builder =
webResource.accept("application/json");
if(headers!=null && headers.size()>0){
for (Map.Entry entry : headers.entrySet()){
builder.header(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
}
}
ClientResponse response = builder
.post(ClientResponse.class, body);
output = response.getEntity(String.class);
}
catch(Exception e){
log.error(e.getMessage(),e);
if(e.toString().contains("One or more of query value parameters are null")){
output="-1";
}
if(e.toString().contains("401 Unauthorized")){
throw e;
}
}
finally {
if (client!= null) {
client.destroy();
}
}
endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
log.info("time hit "+ url +" selama "+ (endTime - startTime) + " milliseconds dengan output = "+output);
return output;
}
