JavaFx has WebView component that can be used to load the Http & Https Url.
The basic steps to load any url using WebView is
WebView view = new WebView();
engine = view.getEngine();
engine.load(new URL("http://www.google.com));
engine.load(new URL("https://mail.google.com));
The problem comes when we have Https url to be loaded.
If the https url that we want to load have signed certificate, we can easily load it.
But if https url that we want to load does not have a signed certificate, it becomes difficult to load the Url.
To solve this, we disable the certificate check and mark the connection object to trust all the certificates.
Below is the code snippet that you should write just before loading the URL.

TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[] {
new X509TrustManager() {
public java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
return null;
}
public void checkClientTrusted(
java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs, String authType) {
}
public void checkServerTrusted(
java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs, String authType) {
}
}
};
// Install the all-trusting trust manager
try {
SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
sc.init(null, trustAllCerts, new java.security.SecureRandom());
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sc.getSocketFactory());
} catch (GeneralSecurityException e) {
}
To create a full embeded browser that is able to load urls having self signed certificates.
