java.security.cert.certificateexception: no subject alternative names present

Question

Problem : 

I have a Java web service client, which consumes a web service via HTTPS.

When I connect to the service URL, I get the exception 

java.security.cert.CertificateException: No subject alternative names present.

Answer 1

I have also faced the same issue and resolved it with bellow code.One must put this code before the first call to webservices.

javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(
new javax.net.ssl.HostnameVerifier()

{
public boolean verify(String hostname,
javax.net.ssl.SSLSession sslSession) 

{
return hostname.equals("localhost");
    }
}

);
