Changing HttpURLConnection in running jvm

Question

Is it possible to change the http handler in jax-ws? For example: from weblogic.net.http.HttpURLConnection to sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.

Answer 1

you can try to using -DUseSunHttpHandler=true in the weblogic.

manage weblogic by using WLST (non-clustered)

add jvm arguments in the managered server env script under $WLS_DOMAIN_HOME/bin/setDomainEnv.sh

  JAVA_OPTIONS=-DUseSunHttpHandler=true 
  export JAVA_OPTIONS 

manage weblogic by using Weblogic console (Clustered)

Add -DUseSunHttpHandler=true to Arguments in a or b.

• In Admin Console navigate to Home > Summary of Servers > <managed server name> > Configuration > Server Start Tab.

• In the config file $WLS_DOMAIN_HOME/config/config.xml with xml-path server > server-start > arguments

Answer 2

Implement your own URLConnectionFactory, which resturns the desired HttpURLConnection and set it when constructing the Jersey Client.

URLConnectionClientHandler urlConnectionClientHandler = new URLConnectionClientHandler(
    new MyURLConnectionFactory());
Client client = new Client(urlConnectionClientHandler);
