How to set Hostname in SSL Handshake (SNI) in JDK 1.7.x

Question

JDK 1.8 seems to be providing the following option to explicitly set Hostname for connecting to SNI enabled sites,

    SNIHostName serverName = new SNIHostName("www.example.com");
    List<SNIServerName> serverNames = new ArrayList<>(1);
    serverNames.add(serverName);
    sslParameters.setServerNames(serverNames);

Is there any similar way to do in JDK 1.7. I have already set jsse.enableSNIExtension=true. I need to explicitly set hostname. Any help is much appreciated.

Answer 1

There is no way to set SNIHostName in Java 7. We can set using Java 8 only.
