Java Error

[Neng Vang]

We are trying to build this new process that connects to a server but keep getting this java error. We think it might be a certification issue, but are not sure. Does anyone know what this, or the issue is that is causing this. BTW, we have other similar process like this one that are not having the same problems. Let me know if you need more info.

Check your application for missing certificate - 'unable to find valid certification path to requested target during login'.

Ok. So, we import the certficate into the keytool cacert file. We've confirmed that it's present. Does anyone know if I need to point my script to use the key? I can't find any documents on how to do this.

Try

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/windows/keytool.html

[login]

please have the following static block in your client side of code
static
{
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore","path to your key store");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword","pwd for the key stoere");
}
