I have been using PayPal Express Checkout NVT API for years on an old Debian. Now (January 2015) my Java servlet says : FATAL [FatalException] Unable to complete HTTPS transaction javax.net.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure at com.ibm.jsse2.n.a(n.java:37) ... Did you change something on your side ?

  • "Did you change something on your side" -- who are you talking to? – Erwin Bolwidt Feb 04 '15 at 07:57
  • @Erwin Bolwidt On the PayPal site, when you clic on "forum", they send you to StackOverflow with the tag PayPal. So, is not it natural to ask them something ? – user1645669 Feb 04 '15 at 08:46

    I'm afraid that that just means that they don't want to spend too much money on supporting developers. It doesn't make the volunteers on StackOverflow to be Paypal staff... – Erwin Bolwidt Feb 04 '15 at 09:20
  • I'm afraid you are right. I have always appreciated stackoverflow help. And I got a very useful answer below. – user1645669 Feb 06 '15 at 06:46

I am afraid this could be due to the SSL issue, which PayPal has disable the SSLv3 support completely on January 12th due to Poodle vulnerability.

All information on the POODLE vulnerability and the changes needed can be found here:

PayPal SSL 3.0 (POODLE) - Merchant Response Guide

You can check the status and update your SDK (If needed) here:

  • Thanks. After you said it, it looks now obvious ! I saw the PayPal "merchant " update for POODLE, but the package organisation (.ebay.) is not at all the same as the old PayPal NVP package I use. I have to investigate further. – user1645669 Feb 06 '15 at 06:46
