To send an HTTPS SOAP request through a Java client, you can use the following steps:

  1. Create a SOAP message using a SOAP library such as Apache Axis, Apache CXF, or JAX-WS.
  2. Create an HTTPURLConnection to connect to the server using HTTPS protocol.
  3. Set up the necessary request properties such as method, content type, and SOAPAction.
  4. Write the SOAP message to the output stream of the connection.
  5. Read the response from the input stream of the connection.


Here is an example code snippet to send an HTTPS SOAP request using Java client:

import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection;

public class SoapClient {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            // Create a SOAP message
            String soapRequest = "<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Body><YourSOAPRequestHere></YourSOAPRequestHere></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>";

            // Create an HTTPS connection
            URL url = new URL("https://example.com/webservice");
            HttpsURLConnection connection = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();

            // Set request properties
            connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
            connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/xml");
            connection.setRequestProperty("SOAPAction", "YourSOAPActionHere");

            // Enable SSL/TLS
            connection.setHostnameVerifier((hostname, session) -> true);

            // Write SOAP message to the output stream
            OutputStream outputStream = connection.getOutputStream();
            outputStream.write(soapRequest.getBytes());
            outputStream.flush();

            // Read response from the input stream
            InputStream inputStream = connection.getInputStream();
            // Read the response here

            // Close streams and connection
            outputStream.close();
            inputStream.close();
            connection.disconnect();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}


Make sure to replace "YourSOAPRequestHere" with your SOAP request and "YourSOAPActionHere" with your SOAP action. Also, update the URL to the actual endpoint of the SOAP web service.
