java - path to trustStore - set property doesn't work?
java, jsse, keystore, ssl, truststore
Solution
You have a typo - it is `trustStore`.
Apart from setting the variables with `System.setProperty(..)`, you can also use
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=path/to/keystore.jks
Problem
I've setup a self-signed certificate to test an ssl java connection - however, it is refusing to locate the java trustStore. I've saved copies of it in /Java/jre6/lib/security in addition to the folder where the classes are compiled to (im using netbeans) and also to /java/jre6/bin none of the above appears to work, because when i run the following - trustStore = null. ``` public class ShowTrustStore { public static void main(String[] args) { System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", "keystore.jks"); System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStrore", "cacerts.jks"); System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "changeit"); String trustStore = System.getProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore"); if (trustStore == null) { System.out.println("javax.net.ssl.trustStore is not defined"); } else { System.out.println("javax.net.ssl.trustStore = " + trustStore); } } } ``` how to set the path correctly? **********UPDATE************ Using the getFile() method and some more debug data: ``` package ssltest; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { // System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", "/keystore.jks"); // System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStrore", "/java.home/cacerts.jks"); // System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "changeit"); // System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "changeit"); try { Main.class.getResource("trustStore.jks").getFile(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } String trustStore = System.getProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore"); if (trustStore == null) { String storeLoc; storeLoc = System.getProperty("java.class.path"); System.out.println("classpath: " + storeLoc); } trustStore = System.getProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore"); if (trustStore == null) { System.out.println("javax.net.ssl.trustStore is not defined"); } else { System.out.println("javax.net.ssl.trustStore = " + trustStore); } } } ``` run: java.lang.NullPointerException classpath: C:\Users\Main\Documents\NetBeansProjects\sslTest\build\classes;C:\Users\Main\Documents\NetBeansProjects\sslTest\src at ssltest.Main.main(Main.java:15) javax.net.ssl.trustStore is not defined BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 0 seconds)
