We are currently going through the same and were unable to find a solution
with the standard classes provided in the JDK. I believe the long and short
is they don't support SSL.
After alot of digging around we came up with the SSLava Toolkit, this
provides a library of classes which support SSL. Their web site is
http://www.phaos.com.
As for pricing I am not sure, I understand it is based on the commercial
aspect of what you are using SSLava for and starts at $1000.
It was the only solution we could find and seems to have resolved all our
problems allowing us to communicate over SSL. If you find any other
solutions for doing this I would like to hear.

Subject: Applet to Servlet post over a secure server?
Is this possible? I've read about using HTTP Tunnelling, although a URL
object doesn't like "https" as the protocol. Would I be able to use Socket
posts instead or URL Connections?
(www.servletcentral.com/1999-02/post.dchtml).
This is a critical issue at this point. I would like to use the
functionality of an Applet and the backend power of a Servlet, although, it
look like the SSL server is preventing be from doing so.
My other option, from what I understand, is to create JSP's or .jthtml
pages
to get the DB data.
