This was caused by the remote server sending certificate that is unknown to the client...when client connects to a server the server sends its certificate to the client for authentication....when server sends its certificate java checkts in its default keystore i.e cacerts and realized that this certificate was generated by one if the tusted CA that java trusts by default.....

And the weird part is that both my dev and production environmets now seem to have the same problem. Another interesting tidbit I have noticed is that I *can* access XML documents on my own server (using a Thawte cert) but have a problem when attempting to access documents on two external servers that I know use Verisign certs. This may or may not be related. Can anyone think of what may be wrong or what I can do to correct the issue? I am getting the following error: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Could not find trusted certificate Here is the method I am using to retrieve the document: public Document readDocument(URL url) throws IOException, ParserConfigurationException, SAXException { Document doc = null; InputStream in = url.openStream(); DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder(); doc = docBuilder.parse(in); return doc; } --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
