title: Oracle Database 11g how to connect to web service over HTTPS TLS1.1,TLS1.2
body: <p>In my current project, I have an Oracle Database 11g. On the database is installed Java 1.6. </p>
  
  <p>My task is to connect over https to web service provider from database procedure (plsql). For this task have used Java stored procedure (rather than HTTP_UTIL plsql package) because I also need to sign XML with a certificate before sending. The whole process worked well til now (picture A).</p>
  
  <p>Nowadays the web service provider has disabled the TLS1.0 and only TLS1.1 and TLS1.2 are supported. This brings me problems because Java 1.6 does not support TLS1.1 and TLS1.2 and it's impossible to upgrade Java on the database side. 
  The idea is to write some kind of webservice proxy.. (picture B):</p>

  <p>My idea is to make some kind of web service proxy (Web-service to Web-service communication over SSL) but doesn't know if this is the right approach to take? Another question is what is the best (simple) way to do that? For web service deployment I have Oracle Weblogic or Tomcat container.</p>
  
  <p>thank you for any info. I can't get any support from Oracle about this scenario (consuming webservice from Oracle 11g over TLS1.1/TLS1.2).</p>
