java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory When using rest easy with JAVA 8 on WildFly8.2.0
sreenathac Dec 1, 2015 11:19 AMI am using rest easy for getting and posting the data from a third party URL, When I am calling the get service using the below code I am getting the ClassNotFoundException "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory"
final ClientRequest request = createRequest(url,acceptType,consumesType,body);
 final byte[] encodedCredentials = (userName + ":" + password) .getBytes(); 
final String encodedAuto = Base64.encodeBytes(encodedCredentials); 
request.header("Authorization", "Basic " + encodedAuto); 
try { 
request.addAuthenticationHeaders(request, userName, password);
 response = request.get(String.class); 
if (response != null) 
     { 
logger.info("Status of the REST Call:" + response.getStatus());
      } 
} catch (final Exception e) { 
e.printStackTrace(); 
 }
And the createRequest method is as below
public ClientRequest createRequest(final String urlString, final String acceptType, final String consumesType, final String body) {
 final ClientRequest request = new ClientRequest(urlString); 
request.accept(acceptType); 
if (body != null) { 
request.body(consumesType, body);
      } 
request.header("Content-Type", consumesType);
 // request.header("Accept", acceptType); 
return request;
 } 
When it is executing response = request.get(request); it is throwing SSLSocketFactory ClassNotFoundException, as per my analysis this class is available on rt.jar which is not required to add to the WildFly server or deployments lib folder.

Then I realized that we should not add these jars to neither httpclient module nor deployment lib folder.
Please let me know if any one has solution for this issue.
