Is there a java setting for disabling certificate validation? [duplicate]

I received this error while trying to start up an application:

Sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path validation failed:  java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException:  java.net.UnknownHostException:oscp.thawte.com

The application is behind a closed network and won't ever be able to get to oscp.thawte.com. Is there a java setting that can disable this?

What happens when you disable certificate validation for JRE?

If the SSL certificate is not validates as trusted or does not match the target host, an HTTPS and other SSL encrypted connection cannot be established and all attempts will result in SSLHandshakeException or IOException.
