Calling HTTPS webservices using Axis and Soap

Hi,

I'm pretty new in this webservice thing and I want to call a webservice deployed over HTTPS.

My current code is like so:

        System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "CustomKeyStore");
        System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "littlesecret");
       
      String endpoint = "https://brsla-cadev-vm3/axis/services/USD_R11_WebService?wsdl";
       
      String user = "someuser";
      String pwd = "somepassword";

      try
      {
        
            // create a new web service stub instance
          USD_WebServiceLocator ws = new USD_WebServiceLocator();
          java.net.URL url = new java.net.URL(endpoint);
        
          USD_WebServiceSoap usd = ws.getUSD_WebServiceSoap(url);
           
           
            // login to server
            int sid = usd.login(user, pwd);


When deploying the service over HTTP I don't have any problems and can access all methods of the web service. However, over HTTPS, I keep on getting Java errors.

I already created a keystore and it looks like the code has no problems accessing that. However, now I run in errors like this:

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

All I'm looking for is a simple example of calling a method over HTTPS, but I seem to be unable to find that anywhere. Kind of stuck here....

Can anyone help me please?
