Looks fairly innocuous.

JSSE is probably missing an intermediate or root CA certificate that
you need.
Are you saying that you have one server that works okay and another
that does not? If so, the problem is likely that your non-working
server requires an additional intermediate certificate that most
browsers have, but that JSSE does not. (JSSE does not really keep up
well, honestly.)
Are either of the GoDaddy certs above served directly by your web
server? Your chain length is 3 (from CA root to your cert), but the
question is whether you are serving only 1 (your own) or 2 (your own +
GoDaddy's intermediate) certificates.
If you can ship a trust store with the client, then you can add
whatever (root or otherwise) certificates you need to trust. The code
is a little messy, but I was able to adapt code I borrowed from Tomcat
to allow me to connect to an HTTPS endpoint using an on-disk trust
store and HttpURLConnection.
Let me know if that code would be useful to you.

They are actually two different services based upon the same type of design.
The first service has been up and running for about a year. I was moving the
development server to a production environment.
First I’ll try and update the blade’s root certificates. Shipping out client
certificates is not really an option.
Thank you for your insight. I’ll let you know if it’s a missing root
certificate.
Jeff
