Getting 'Unable to find valid certification path to requested target' in Glassfish but not in standalone Java App

Working with Eclipse IDE, given the following class, from which I omit everything unnecessary:

import java.net.URL;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import javax.xml.ws.Service;
import javax.xml.ws.WebServiceClient;
//...

@WebServiceClient
public class CustomService extends Service {
    
    public CustomService(URL wsdlLocation, QName serviceName) {
        super(wsdlLocation, serviceName);
    }

    //...   
}

When it is invoked from the 'main' method of another standalone class, when passing through the line super(wsdlLocation, serviceName), it works correctly.

BUT, when it is invoked from a class that is executed upon Glassfish loading, when passing through the line super(wsdlLocation, serviceName), it throws the following exception:

com.sun.xml.ws.wsdl.parser.InaccessibleWSDLException: 2 counts of InaccessibleWSDLException.

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

How to solve it?

Solution

  • Here is the solution that works in my case:

    From EDGE explorer, I had to access the WSDL URL and export the certificate.

    Move it to the config path of Glassfish (C:\PROYECT\glassfish4\glassfish\domains\domain1\config), and from there, import it.

    keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias DigiCert_Global_Root_G2 -file "DigiCert Global Root G2.crt" -keystore cacerts.jks
