This is a JSSE problem and it's been a long time since I've configured 
JSSE so I don't know how much help I can be.

Are you using a purchased certificate on the server or a "self signed" 
certificate?  If it's self-signed then you'll have to add that 
certificate to your local keystore on the machine that JSSE is running on.
