Honestly, i see this for the first time. But one thing for sure: It's not related to jboss-wsse*.xml. That's the WS-Security configuration. However you may try to specify a client side key and trustore, like: | -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=<truststore> | To me it looks like the SSLSocketFactory fails because it's not correctly configured. This might as well play together with the SSL configuration you are using for tomcat. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4070209#...
