Servlets/JSP - Java.net.SocketException: java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Error constructing

HI
I am using a java webstart(which will be loaded by a servlet running on a server) and trying to select a file from the desktop and upload to remote ftp location.
During this upload i need to call a servlet for getting some details from the server, for this i use the HTTPClient class to invoke the server and This works fine with http protocol.
But if the server is running on https then the below exception is raised when the HTTPclient.execute method is called.
java.net.SocketException: java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Error constructing implementation (algorithm: Default, provider: SunJSSE, class: sun.security.ssl.SSLContextImpl$DefaultSSLContext)

Further more in a drill down exeption it shows
... 15 more
Caused by: java.io.EOFException
at java.io.DataInputStream.readInt(Unknown Source)
at sun.security.provider.JavaKeyStore.engineLoad(Unknown Source)
at sun.security.provider.JavaKeyStore$JKS.engineLoad(Unknown Source)
at java.security.KeyStore.load(Unknown Source)
at sun.security.ssl.TrustManagerFactoryImpl.getCacertsKeyStore(Unknown Source)
at sun.security.ssl.SSLContextImpl$DefaultSSLContext.getDefaultTrustManager(Unknown Source)

i searched on forums buit could nto get any useful information
Please help with any solution or suggestion.

Thanks

As far as I know, HTTPS communications handling is slightly different from conventional HTTP communications handling. Hence, if your application is to establish connectivity via HTTPS, you would have to somehow handle the handshaking using the correct way for HTTPS.

You may refer to the following article for establishing connectivity via HTTPS: Use HTTPS in your Java client code

Hi tvc3mye

Thanks for your reply, i was also checking on the same lines and found that the handshaking process for the https is getting completed and an error is being raised and so the hand shaking certificate is not generated.

I modified my code a little so that the hand shaking process happens properly and it worked.
