I've setup a self-signed certificate to test an ssl java connection - however, it is refusing to locate the java trustStore. I've saved copies of it in /Java/jre6/lib/security in addition to the folder where the classes are compiled to (im using netbeans) and also to /java/jre6/bin none of the above appears to work, because when i run the following - trustStore = null.
public class ShowTrustStore {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", "keystore.jks");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStrore", "cacerts.jks");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "changeit");
String trustStore = System.getProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore");
if (trustStore == null) {
System.out.println("javax.net.ssl.trustStore is not defined");
} else {
System.out.println("javax.net.ssl.trustStore = " + trustStore);
}
}
}
how to set the path correctly?
**********UPDATE************ Using the getFile() method and some more debug data:
package ssltest;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", "/keystore.jks");
// System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStrore", "/java.home/cacerts.jks");
// System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "changeit");
// System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "changeit");
try {
Main.class.getResource("trustStore.jks").getFile();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
String trustStore = System.getProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore");
if (trustStore == null) {
String storeLoc;
storeLoc = System.getProperty("java.class.path");
System.out.println("classpath: " + storeLoc);
}
trustStore = System.getProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore");
if (trustStore == null) {
System.out.println("javax.net.ssl.trustStore is not defined");
} else {
System.out.println("javax.net.ssl.trustStore = " + trustStore);
}
}
}
run: java.lang.NullPointerException classpath: C:\Users\Main\Documents\NetBeansProjects\sslTest\build\classes;C:\Users\Main\Documents\NetBeansProjects\sslTest\src at ssltest.Main.main(Main.java:15) javax.net.ssl.trustStore is not defined BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 0 seconds)
You have a typo - it is trustStore
.
Apart from setting the variables with System.setProperty(..)
, you can also use
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=path/to/keystore.jks
