Hello,
 it looks like either client or server (or both) does not have access to the
security certificatete - in order to get Jave SSL server/client pair talk to
each other they both must have access to the same (server's public) security
certificate. The somewhat complicated procedure to self-generate one and use
when communicating over SSL is described, for example here:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/jsse/JSSERefGuide.html#CreateKeystore

It boils down to:
  * self-generating a file (say, keystore) with certificate for the server

  * passing it to the server's java runtime:
      java -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=keystore ....

  * importing the same certificate into a file (say, truststore) containing
    info about trusted servers known to a client

  * passing it to the clients's java runtime:
      java -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=truststore ....

hope it helps
