java-7

I am a bit of an idiot to how SSL and Webservices work at the fine-grained level. I am developing a system that calls several web services, some with secured URLs and others that are not with little problem. Currently, however, I am doing an integration with Endicia's LabelServer Web API. The webservice is used to calculate and print postage. The test URL and WSDL is at: https://www.envmgr.com/LabelService/EwsLabelService.asmx I used wsimport to create and setup a Java client for connecting to this webservice but when I try to all it I get the error PKIX path validation failed: java.security

Is there an API to get a classpath resource (e.g. what I'd get from Class.getResource(String) ) as a java.nio.file.Path ? Ideally, I'd like to use the fancy new Path APIs with classpath resources. This one works for me: return Paths.get(ClassLoader.getSystemResource(resourceName).toURI()); Guessing that what you want to do, is call Files.lines(...) on a resource that comes from the classpath - possibly from within a jar. Since Oracle convoluted the notion of when a Path is a Path by not making getResource return a usable path if it resides in a jar file, what you need to do is something like

Java 7 prevents FTP transfers on Windows Vista and 7. In FTP, before a file is transferred a PORT or a PASV command must be sent. As soon as one of the commands is sent the Windows Firewall closes the socket that sent it. This only happens if the firewall is on and an exception for java.exe is absent. I suspect this problem is related to Java 7 using the new Vista IP stack. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix or work around this problem? We're distributing a Java FTP library so we obviously can't add exceptions ourselves. Exception: java.net.SocketException: Permission denied: recv failed
