Spring WebClient - SSL configuration - spring

Question

Below is the old code which I am trying to replace. How can I use webclient to follow same behavior?
If anyone can guide me on this it will be great.
I check for code to use HostnameVerifier but i did not find any link which can help me.
public void initSSL() {
if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
logger.debug("HttpBasedUrlConnection - Initializing SSL");
}
// Configure truststore location for everybody
final String homePath = getHomePath();
synchronized (this) {
trustStorePath = homePath + "/conf/cert/client.keystore";
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", trustStorePath);
}
// HEADSUP: This violates HTTPS host verification, since we arnt setting up SSL certs right.
final HostnameVerifier hv = new HostnameVerifier() {
#Override
public boolean verify(final String urlHostName, final SSLSession session) {
return true;
}
};
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(hv);
// Prepare SSL socket factory with all available certificates
loadCertificates();
}
I came across StackOverflow link which suggests how to accept all the certificates.
That is not exactly what I need but I can use it as temp solution until i find proper one.
public static WebClient getWebClient() throws SSLException {
String baseUrl = "https://localhost:3454/stackoverflow";
SslContext sslContext = SslContextBuilder.forClient().trustManager(InsecureTrustManagerFactory.INSTANCE).build();
HttpClient httpClient = HttpClient.create().secure(sslContextSpec -> sslContextSpec.sslContext(sslContext));
ClientHttpConnector httpConnector = new ReactorClientHttpConnector(httpClient);
return WebClient.builder().clientConnector(httpConnector).baseUrl(baseUrl).build();
}
I tried it but getting the following error
Runtime exception: 'long io.netty.util.internal.PlatformDependent.objectFieldOffset(java.lang.reflect.Field)' java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'long io.netty.util.internal.PlatformDependent.objectFieldOffset(java.lang.reflect.Field)'
