Remote connection closed during Handshake

Hi All,
In my application Ihave a applet. While loading, it waits for sometime and it throws an error "Javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Remote host closed connection during handshake". If someone can explain me what this error mean it would be great.

Any help is very much appreciated

Apparently something went wrong during establishing the connection, and the server decided that it wouldn't work. You can probably find a more descriptive message in the server logs.
