    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    Application Server's webservices engine is organizing the
    connection information which will be used to match up the
    dynamic outbound endpoint SSL configuration from JSSE. For
    proxy case, the proxy host and port information are used
    in this connection information. Which caused
    the match up failed.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Application Server is modified to update the connection
    information for proxy case. The endpoint host and port
    information will be updated into the connection information.
    
    By default, this fix behavior is disabled.
    It can be enabled by setting following jvm custom property to
    true.
