解决 sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed:

错误信息：

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException:                                                                    PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException:
unable to find valid certification path to requested target

问题原因：

源应用程序不信任目标应用程序的证书，因为在源应用程序的JVM信任库中找不到该证书或证书链。

解决办法： 

• 写一个安全程序专门用于获取安全证书：

• 将代码保存为InstallCert.java文件，并通过javac InstallCert.java 命令编译Java程序
• 执行 java InstallCert hostname 命令，如：java InstallCert 192.168.1.137:8443（要访问的目标程序的IP地址和端口），然后会看到如下信息：

java InstallCert ecc.fedora.redhat.com
Loading KeyStore /usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.5.0/jre/lib/security/cacerts...
Opening connection to ecc.fedora.redhat.com:443...

Enter certificate to add to trusted keystore or 'q' to quit: [1]

•  直接输入1，然后会在相应的目录下产生一个名为‘jssecacerts’的证书，将证书copy到$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security目录下，或者通过执行：

System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "D:\\UTA\\DOC_E_Health_XML\\Keystore\\jssecacerts

• 重启程序即可解决
