https connection from url object using JSSE

I'm trying to open a url connection using url object by passing https protocol request. But I'm getting "untrusted Server certificate chain" exception. I've been to java forum I tried lot many things to get rid of this exception. But I couldn't make it possible.

Environment is as follows:
Application Server is : WebLogic Application Server
normal java client.
Using JSSE on client side inorder to call https protocol from url.
I'm trying use url.openConnection from a java client to weblogic application server.
Any suggestions appriciated.

Do you have SSL configured to run on your weblogic server?

What certification did you install in server? Is it self signed certification or from root CA?

I'm getting this exception on client side. Not on server side. I'm getting this initially when client sends first packet of data to server.

This is the scenario.
First server gets the request from client, server sends a certificate to client. Client checks whether the certificate from server is a trusted one. That's when I'm getting this exception on client side.

Here is the sample code snippet
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;

/*
* This example illustrates using a URL to access resources

* To use Sun's reference implementation of HTTPS protocol, Please set

*
* java.protocol.handler.pkgs = com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol

* If you are running inside a firewall, please also set the following

*
* https.proxyHost = <secure proxy server hostname>
* https.proxyPort = <secure proxy server port>
