javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Remote host closed connection during handshake during web service communicaiton
I am getting javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Remote host closed connection during handshake exception when I try to do HTTPS Post of a web service through internet. But same code works for other internet hosted web services. I tried many things, nothing is helping me. I posted my sample code here. Can anyone please help me to resolve this problem?
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
String xmlServerURL = "https://example.com/soap/WsRouter";
URL urlXMLServer = new URL(xmlServerURL);
// URLConnection supports HTTPS protocol only with JDK 1.4+
Proxy proxy = new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP, new InetSocketAddress(
"xxxx.example.com", 8083));
HttpURLConnection httpsURLConnection = (HttpURLConnection) urlXMLServer
.openConnection(proxy);
httpsURLConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","text/xml; charset=utf-8");
//httpsURLConnection.setDoInput(true);
httpsURLConnection.setDoOutput(true);
httpsURLConnection.setConnectTimeout(300000);
//httpsURLConnection.setIgnoreProxy(false);
httpsURLConnection.setRequestMethod("POST");
//httpsURLConnection.setHostnameVerifier(DO_NOT_VERIFY);
// send request
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(
httpsURLConnection.getOutputStream());
StringBuffer requestXML = new StringBuffer();
requestXML.append(getProcessWorkOrderSOAPXML());
// get list of user
out.println(requestXML.toString());
out.close();
out.flush();
System.out.println("XML Request POSTed to " + xmlServerURL + "\n");
System.out.println(requestXML.toString() + "\n");
//Thread.sleep(60000);
// read response
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
httpsURLConnection.getInputStream()));
String line;
String respXML = "";
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
respXML += line;
}
in.close();
// output response
respXML = URLDecoder.decode(respXML, "UTF-8");
System.out.println("\nXML Response\n");
System.out.println(respXML);
}

Actually, there are two scenarios here. When I work as a standalone Java program I am getting the above exception. But when I try to execute in weblogic application server, I am getting the below exception: Any clue what could be the reason?

Answer
Java 7 defaults to TLS 1.0, which can cause this error when that protocol is not accepted. I ran into this problem with a Tomcat application and a server that would not accept TLS 1.0 connections any longer. I added
-Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2
to the Java options and that fixed it. (Tomcat was running Java 7.)
