javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Unrecognized SSL message, plaintext connection?

[edduenas...@gmail.com]

Hi,

We tried to run the code provided in the following link

https://github.com/googleads/googleads-java-lib/blob/master/examples/adwords_axis/src/main/java/adwords/axis/v201409/accountmanagement/GetAccountHierarchy.java

But we are getting the following error

Exception in thread "main" AxisFault

 faultCode: {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server.userException

 faultSubcode: 

 faultString: javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Unrecognized SSL message, plaintext connection?

 faultActor: 

 faultNode: 

 faultDetail: 

{http://xml.apache.org/axis/}stackTrace:javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Unrecognized SSL message, plaintext connection?

We have set the https proxy and port in our code explicitly 

System.setProperty("https.proxyHost", "***.**.**");

System.setProperty("https.proxyPort","80");

Hi,

Those system properties are read the first time certain core classes are loaded by the class loader, so if you are calling System.setProperty(...) after that happens, those settings won't have any effect.

To see if that's the problem, could you try setting the properties on the command line by passing JVM arguments, as outlined here?

Thanks,

Hi,

We tried setting the properties on the command line by passing JVM arguments, but still we are getting the same ssl exception as below.

Exception in thread "main" AxisFault

Hi,

Are you able to make connections to other SSL URLs via your proxy? Looking around stackoverflow, etc., this sounds like it may be caused by an issue with your proxy server.

Hi Josh,

we earlier looked at stackoverflow, we are facing this issue when we use axis implementation of google adwords webservice, instead when we use jaxws implementation it is working fine. I am not sure this is the issue with axis implementation (some where I read that axis overwrites proxy configurations internally)

Please let us know if it is suggested way to use jaxws google-lib (adwords-appengine) files instead of axis api files(adwords-axis)

Thanks.

Edduenas,

Try using the http.proxyHost and http.proxyPort instead of https.* ones.

Judging by the port in your posted settings it sounds like an insecure proxy which would explain this error message perfectly.

Hope this helps!
