How to solve sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException?

Question

I have written some code to connect to my mail server and read emails. I am using POP3 using SSL connection. I have also added SSL certificate to the java keystore. But still i am getting the same exception. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Possible cause this exception would be the cert from the keystore does not match the cert from the server.
