@pkondrat - I think its working now.
I added:
properties.setProperty(JCSMPProperties.SSL_TRUST_STORE, “/Users/andan02/projects/solace/truststore.jks”);
properties.setProperty(JCSMPProperties.SSL_TRUST_STORE_PASSWORD, “password”);
to both the DirectPublisher and DirectSubscriber.
I can see traffic hitting the route, and I see messages publishing and consumed on the pubsub dashboard. I was able to subscribe to the topic and see messages in the TRY ME section also.
Thank you very much for your help. I think I can continue my testing from here. Would be great to see some guidance online for those using openshift and java. Perhaps this thread can help others.
