I have implemented a JAX-WS client by using ApacheCXF (v3.0.4) and everything works successfully but the problem comes when I want to use a secure connection (SSL/TLS) with java 8 (jdk1.8.0_25).
I see the following exception in log (-Djavax.net.debug=all):
main, handling exception: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset
main, SEND TLSv1.2 ALERT: fatal, description = unexpected_message
main, WRITE: TLSv1.2 Alert, length = 2
main, Exception sending alert: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer: socket write error
After a depeer analysis I have observed the problem is caused because the with Java 8 the server_name (SNI) is not sent but with Java 7 it is sent and the web service invocation works successfully.
Java 8 log (-Djavax.net.debug=all): Missing "Extension server_name"

It is observed that with Java 7 the Extension server_name, server_name: [host_name: testeo.hostname.es] is set and then the web service invocation works successfully.
Why didn't Java 8 set the server_name as Java 7 did? Is it a Java configuration issue?
