javax.net.ssl.SSLException

Hi,
I am using SoapUI Pro 3.0.1

On sending an https soap request, SoapUI encounters an error while handshake and the request is aborted.

My Scenario:
1. Create a SoapUI contract from a wsdl with Transport type = HTTPS
Note: SoapUI version used = SoapUI Pro 3.0.1

2. Add proper keystore in SoapUI and associate the keystore with the request.

3. Send the soap request through SoapUI and check results.

Actual Result:
The soap request is not executed successfully because of SSL Handshake failure.
Soap Response is not received.

Following SoapUI error is shown:
Error getting response; javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Received fatal alert: unexpected_message

Following are the exception messages in server logs:

ssl_debug(84): Starting handshake (iSaSiLk 3.03)...
ssl_debug(84): Received v3 client_hello handshake message.
ssl_debug(84): Client requested SSL version 3.1, selecting version 3.1.
ssl_debug(84): Client is trying to resume session 2E:CB:7B:44:4D:E6:89:2C...
ssl_debug(84): Resuming previous session...
ssl_debug(84): Sending alert: Alert Fatal: unexpected message
ssl_debug(84): Shutting down SSL layer...
ssl_debug(84): SSLException while handshaking: First message not ClientHello.
ssl_debug(84): Closing transport...

Note: On analyzing the behavior I discovered that there is an ssl socket shuts down after a timeout period and after that the soap Requests through SoapUI fials with above exception messages.

Also, when I execute the same scenario in SoapUI version 2.0.2, there is no error encountered and the soap request is successful.

Please advice on this error.

Thanks,
Vaibhav
