Setting SSL for JAX-WS Client

Question

I need to implement some JAX-WS client (for Websphere Application Server 7), that will request server using SSL. The question is, how to set SSL certificate into WS request dynamically? I want to use the way, which is presented here http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAW57_7.0.0/com.ibm.websphere.nd.doc/info/ae/ae/tjw_security_https.html That means to use the setting SSL configuration alias for referencing to configuration. This looks easily, but this example is for JAX-RPC and I would like to know, if is possible this kind of configuration if I use JAX-WS. Is something like this possible with JAX-WS? Thanks

BindingProvider bindingProvider = (BindingProvider) importIsdn;
        bindingProvider.getBinding().getHandlerChain().add(new Handler() {
            public boolean handleMessage(MessageContext context) {
                context.put("ssl.configName", wsClient.getSslConfigName());
                return true;
            }

            public boolean handleFault(MessageContext context) {
                return false;
            }

            public void close(MessageContext context) {

            }
        });

Answer 1

If you are using JAX-WS, check if you can use policy sets instead of doing it in the code.

Create policy based on WSHTTPS default, then in create binding and specify SSL configs to be used (you can select SSL configuration alias there). Attach policy to the JAX-WS client via admin console.
