weblogic 10.3.6.01 java version "1.6.0_31" java(tm) se runtime environment (build 1.6.0_31-b04) java hotspot(tm) 64-bit server vm (build 20.6-b01, mixed mode)

workaround

• server 1 connection if create raw socket , set host , port(30042).
• request going fine.
• if use soapconnection or httpsurlconnection request not going , throwing handshake error
• if use http url server1 works fine

if proxy set using system property in case subsequent https call use proxy though not setting in program, java internally.

in our case want access server 1 without proxy , server 2 want proxy. when trying first time access server2 setting proxy system property, after when trying connect server 1 failing coz https request going throught proxy , @ our proxy server there no policy set server 1

solutions: 1) donot set proxy @ system level, add @ connection level 2) add rule in proxy server server 1, both server 1 & 2 go through proxy 3) @ runtime remove proxy system property before calling server1 , after set again. server 2 go through proxy.

solutions depend on conditions; choose suitable you.
