Hi, I am new to the tomcat user group but have been using tomcat for some years.
My situation is odd -- the customer wants the product to remove an external JAR which requires me to make the SSL mutual connection manually, and then post the Soap message. So far I have been successful in doing that. However, this overall solution is installed on different computer locations, I need to allow this to work flexibly. Right now, I have hard coded the path to the TrustStore and KeyStore so that my code can access those and use the password which I know, so that my HttpClient side code to build the correct SSL connection to the external SSL server. (This is a mutual peer authenticated SSL connection). >From the ServletContext or when the java servlet starts (where my httpclient component runs witihin), I need to get access to the tomcat connector, and determine the attributes of it. I guess one brute force method is to get the environment variable for catalina.home or catalina.base and then scan for the conf/server.xml and parse that.... But I figure there must be a cleaner and better way. I also scanned the objects that are acessible from the Response, Request, or ServletContext. None of them seem to point to the Connector in a way that I can inspect it, or get current properties of it. For example, within the org.apache.catalina.connector.ResponseFacade, I noticed that its embedded object of HttpResponse is protected but it has the Connector. Seems like I need to hack that to get that Connector info. There must be a better way. -- Sean
