IWS is, in part, at least, a port of Apache Axis done by Tim Rowe and others in Rochester. You might find better descriptions of error messages by looking at the apache.org website. Look up the Axis project.
I'm not sure whether they ported the C Axis project or the Java Axis project. I know the point was to provide a lightweight webservice for the i. Java Axis is meant to be run in a java container, like Tomcat. I believe the C Axis is standalone so that may be what they ported.
Either Axis project involves both a service provider and a client.
This same group of people are contributors to the Axis project.
GSKit is IBM's cryptographic project. It is used in lots of IBM products.
When I use Java Axis on Tomcat, HTTPS protocol is handled by Tomcat. There are configuration entries for Tomcat where I specify the location of the certificate store and the name of the certificate to use. The description of the error as you show it here implies that IWS knows to use GSKit when HTTPS protocol is used, but GSKit and/or IWS don't know where to find the key database (certificate store). There may be a default path for the certificate store that you haven't set up or that doesn't point to your actual database.

Subject: IWS and GSKit for HTTPS
Does anybody here have any experience configuring the IWS client and server to use HTTPS?
Obviously there's some configuring to do, because if I just use something like "
https://foo.bar"; in the client endpoint, I end up with:
AXIS EXCEPTION: (
23
)
HTTPTransportException: HTTPS transport error.
GSKit Error is 202 - Key database file was not found.
And I can't make head or tail of what it says about this in the "IWS Web Services Client" book. (Not that I can make much sense of ANYTHING in that book.)
