Hi Jinyuan,

Thanks for the heads up.

I understand that this is essentially a hack to make java to work with self
signed servers. If there is really a security concern or any probability for
a man in the middle attack for sure this advice is not applicable.

My understanding is:
--------------------

If someone is interested in a serious JEE application then he should buy the
appropriate certificate. 

If someone is just evaluating or playing with non critical or confidential
data he can lax the security validation a bit...
