jdk 1.4.1 - "Could not find trusted certificate" error with jsse

[Scott Reese]

[please cc: me in replies as I am not currently subscribed to this
list.  Thank you.]

I've been using the linux-sun-jdk1.4.x in conjunction with
jakarta-tomcat41 successfully for several months now except for one
difficulty:  too many java processes (between 30 and 60) are spawned by
Tomcat and I haven't found a way to control that yet.  The processes
don't seem to take up much in the way of resources so it's not *that*
big a deal.  It's just messy.  So, I figured I would give the native
jdk1.4.1 a shot and it *does* work except for one thing.  The web site
uses the jsse to connect to a database located across the country.  This
works just fine with the linux jdk with no tweaking at all.  However,
with the native jdk I get the attached error message.

I've searched Google and I attempted to search the archives but
Google turned up nothing and the freebsd-java archive came up as
"unavailable" on freebsd.org so my apologies if this has already
been asked and answered.  I would like for this to work because the
native jdk sticks with one thread and seems to be a little faster than
the linux jdk.  Any ideas?  My thanks in advance.
