Spring 5.0 Webclient with SSL

[pul edu]

Spring 5.0, doesn't support Java SSL. So using Reactor Netty SSLContext.

Want to use one-way communication (Server-side authentication).

Created KeyStore and TrustStore using Java KeyTool.



KeyManagerFactory keyManagerFactory=null;
KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance(KeyStore.getDefaultType());
InputStream readStream = new FileInputStream("serverkeystore.p12");
ks.load(readStream, pass.toCharArray());
readStream.close();
keyManagerFactory = KeyManagerFactory.getInstance("SunX509");
keyManagerFactory.init(ks, "pass".toCharArray());

Setting in WebClient request, getting below exception ?.

Exception
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

Can you help with examples and pointers ?.

You can use Netty inside of spring. Spring webflux is nothing more than a wrapper for a reactor core (pun intended.) Webflux uses reactor as its engine.
