Webmaster Forum / ColdFusion / Advanced Techniques / July 2008

I'm trying to consume a webservice that requires an X.509 certificate.  The
webservice uses SOAP.

In our current setup, we already consume several SOAP webservices.  The way I
usually do it is to create a XML Packet where I manually generate the envelope,
and then pass it using CFHTTP.

I am having problems with this technique as I need to generate the SOAP
headers based off the binary tokens created by the certificate.  

I am never able to get anywhere using cfinvoke.  I can never even access the
WSDL, which is why I always lean towards using CFHTTP.

Does anyone know of any way to use a java object to access the certificate and
then output the tokens?  I have already imported the certificate into the
cacerts keystore using the CF keytool utility.

Thanks in advance,
Michael
