Notes/Domino 6 and 7 Forum : SSL and SOAP

We are currently in the process of migrating an application from R5 to R6.
In R5 to overcome the limitation of the domino jvm we were using an external jvm to generate our SSL SOAP calls.
Now, in R6 we should be able to do everything within domino. Unfortunately, we are facing a constant error :
[SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Client; msg=Error opening socket: null; targetException=java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Error opening socket: null]
23.10.2003 11:21:25 AMgr: Agent ('wGetInfoClientTestLocal2' in 'credwf\app.nsf') error message: at org.apache.soap.transport.http.SOAPHTTPConnection.send(SOAPHTTPConnection.java:333)

After debbugging, it seems the SSL context is not loaded, therefore the further use of the SSL classes is disabled. If anyone has a suggestion or a workaround, we would be glad to hear it.

Note: The same java classes execute successfully under WSAD 5.0x.
