Hi all,

I'm trying to use JAXP and DOM to parse an XML file on the local disk. However, when I try, I am getting a "javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException". Thisis a local file. I don't understand why anything related to SSL is going on. I've tried this on Windows and Linux. Same result.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Robert

By the way, I am using Java 7, and I'm beginning to think that has something to do with it...

Does the XML file refer to a DTD that is to be fetched via HTTPS?

Hi all,

I'm trying to use JAXP and DOM to parse an XML file on the local disk. However, when I try, I am getting a "javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException". This is a local file. I don't understand why anything related to SSL is going on. I've tried this on Windows and Linux. Same result.

Any ideas?

Not really an "idea," just a "guess:" Does your XML file use entity
references (or a DTD) that needs to be looked up on the net?
