SSL for JDBC

Hi

I try to connect to postgresql server by
SSL via JDBC.

But I got always error. The handshake always fail.

I create the SSL Private key 'server.key' and selfsigned certificate
'server.crt' by openssl.
and configure postgresql to accept ssl.

When I connect by psql like

#psql -h 192.168.1.20 TestDB -u
---Outpot---------
psql: Warning: The -u option is deprecated. Use -U.
User name: testuser
Password:testpass
Welcome to psql, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

Type:  \copyright for distribution terms
       \h for help with SQL commands
       \? for help on internal slash commands
       \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
       \q to quit

SSL connection (cipher: DES-CBC3-SHA, bits: 168)
----------------------

So SSL connection is correctly setup in the postgresql server.

Then, I modified the postgresql Driver, PG_Stream.java and replcace the
Socket by SSLSocket as following.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
//connection = new Socket(host, port);
SSLSocketFactory factory = (SSLSocketFactory) SSLSocketFactory.getDefault();
connection = (SSLSocket) factory.createSocket(host,port);
connection.startHandshake();

~~
//private Socket connection
private SSLSocket connection;
+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Than I add the certificate into the root CA to be trusted.
keytool -import -storetype jks -keystore cacerts -file server.crt
cacerts is in java_home/jre/lib/security/cacerts.

But I still got the error.

-->Exception: The connection attempt failed because Exception:

I am wondering if anybody have successfuly connected from JDBC to PostgreSQL
by SSL.
Please help me!

Hopefully, SSL supported driver is coming soon!
Thank you.
