Hi all, I’m attempting to package up my JRuby soap4r client application into a jar, but I’m not having much luck getting it working. I’ve tried using both rawr and Netbeans to build the jar but I get the same results. I have the soap4r and httpclient gems inside the jruby-complete.jar… I put the gems here: \META-INF\jruby.home\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\httpclient-2.1.5.2\ The problem seems to be with the httpclient gem. Its failing when it reads in the cacert.p7s file. I’ve verified that the file is there, and everything works fine when its not running from a jar. I believe I can use “net/http” as the client, but I’m hoping I wont have to. Has anyone successfully wrapped a soap4r client into a jar?

Ok, I believe I’ve tracked this bug down a bit more (I’m still a newbie … but a persistent one 🙂 ) It appears as though the recently added JRuby “OpenSSL::X509::Store#add\_file” method doesn’t work with file URL’s , which are obviously used when referencing files from within a jar. (See JRuby-3692 for the add\_file patch). I’ve reproduced the issue in irb. I guess I should log a bug on JRuby’s jira site … since I couldn’t write code in Java to save my life.
