Is FeedbackServiceManager working ?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,

My question is simple, is FeedbackServiceManager class working ?

I use PushNotificationManager class to send my notifications and it works 
great, but if i try to 
read data from the apple feedback server, the server send me back :

Exception in thread "main" javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: 
sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: No trusted certificate found

The cercificate seems to be good because i can send my notifications with it...

Here is a snippet of the code :

LinkedList<Device> liste = 
FeedbackServiceManager.getInstance().getDevices("feedback.sandbox.push.apple.com
", 2196, 
"PushCertificats.p12", "myPassword", SSLConnectionHelper.KEYSTORE_TYPE_PKCS12);

        for(int i=0; i<liste.size(); i++) {
            System.out.println(liste.get(i).getToken()+" "+liste.get(i).getLastRegister());
        }

Hi,

I had the same issue.
The problem is apparently not your client certificate, but that you can't 
validate
Apple's server certificate.
I got it to work by modifying the way the SSLSocket is created in
SSLConnectionHelper.getSSLSocket().
When initializing the SSLContext, a trustmanager needs to be provided that 
contains
Apple's server certificate. Note that this trustmanager can only be set when 
using
the feedback service, using it when pushing notifications will result in an 
error.
Note that I have no idea if this is the best way of doing this, but hey, it 
works.

First, you need to get a hold of either Apple's server certificate or the 
certificate
of its Certification Authority:
This second option is the easiest, just download it from
http://aia.entrust.net/2048-l1b.cer

Then, use keytool (comes with your Java JDK) to create a keystore and add the
certificate to it. I used the same password as for my client certificate, that 
will
make it easier later on.

Finally, modify SSLConnectionHelper.getSSLSocket():
 * add a parameter to the method signature:
public SSLSocket getSSLSocket(boolean loadServerCertificate) throws ...

 * Where this method is called in FeedbackServiceManager.getDevices() pass 'true', on
the other 2 invocations pass 'false'

 * add the following code just above where the SSLContext is created in
SSLConnectionHelper.getSSLSocket() (replace the path to your keystore)
    TrustManager[] trustManagers = null;
    if (loadServerCertificate) {
        KeyStore ks2 = KeyStore.getInstance("JKS");
        ks2.load(new FileInputStream(new File("/path/to/my/server/certificate/keystore")),
this.keyStorePass.toCharArray());

        TrustManagerFactory tmf = TrustManagerFactory.getInstance(ALGORITHM);
        tmf.init(ks2);
        trustManagers = tmf.getTrustManagers();
    }

 * Finally, add the trustmanager as a parameter to the SSLContext initialization:
sslc.init(kmf.getKeyManagers(), trustManagers, null);

This worked for me, let me know how it goes.

I've tried the changes, and am looking to integrate them into the code... but 
I'm getting no data.

How long does it take for the feedback service (apple) to start working? Does 
it only work once the iPhone App is 
published?

I am facing the same issue as Bill. 
Could you please confirm how long does it takes until the feedback service 
generates
data?

thaks

Hello

It's instantaneous.

I talk to the feedback service each time after sending notifications to my 
customer and 
iPhone who don't receive the notification appear in the list immediately.

Note that feedback service seems not to work in test environnement.

Hello Julien,

Thanks for your feedback. You are right. It doesnt work in the test environment

Big thanks to IwijnX for posting his solution

Worked fine for me, once I worked out how to do the keytool thing :)

The source code has been updated with my Feedback Service changes. You might 
also notice that the ssl cert 
thing is much more transparent now.
