Unexpected error: java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException: the trustAnchors parameter must be non-empty

Question

Hie,

I wrote a java code which connects to Salesforce and updates a value in there, Its is working well and good when i run it from my local system as a standalone java application but my main goal is to take that as a java component in filenet BPM workflow , so when the workflow process gets to this java component then it throws a error as the title

the entire stack stack trace is as follows

I have googled everything regarding this error and generated a .crt file of the domain and created a keystore file and mentioned that in my code

 System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore","C:\\Program Files\\IBM\\WebSphere\\AppServer\\java\\jre\\bin\\secure.ts");
 System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "xxxxx");

By the way i even modified key managemnet and certificates in WAS console

But I keep on getting the same error..Don't know what to do , Any help would be great

Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

This error message usually means that your specified truststore can not be read. What I would check:

• Is the path correct? (I'm sure you checked this...)
• Has the user who started the JVM enough access privileges to read the trustore?
• When do you set the system properties? Are they already set when the webservice is invoked?
• Perhaps another component has overridden the values. Are the system properties still set when the webservice is invoked?
• Does the trustore contains the Salesforce certificate and is the file not corrupt (e.g. check with keytool -list)?

Edit:

• Don't use System.setProperty but set the options when starting the Java process with -Djavax.net.ssl.XXX. The reason for this advice is as follows: The IBM security framework may read the options before you set the property (e.g. in a static block of a class). Of course this is framework specific and may change from version to version.
