JaxWS with self signed certificates

Self signed certificates are common, especially on testservers. The java default solution to add the certificate to every developers and buildservers java vm is a pain in the ass. For the play WS api there is an easy workaround.

To use soap webservices with JaxWS and self signed certificates I found SSLUtilities.java on Srđan Šrepflers Blog.

To use it you have add the following static calls to the class with the webservice call:

    static {
        SSLUtilities.trustAllHostnames();
        SSLUtilities.trustAllHttpsCertificates();
    }
