error when Axis2 client invoke SSL Service from J2EE application in Websphere6.1

[Shahbaz Ali]

Hi all,
I am stucked in the issue where my axis2 based client call the ssl service from websphere 6.1 and throws the following exception along with the message at the top. I have followed the step from
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/wikis/download/attachments/116424904/basic_ssl_cert_exchange_1109.pdf?version=1

to install the ssl certificate using IBM websphere admin console in default trust store. Please note this client was working fine for APACHE tomcat. Any help in this regard will be highly appreciable Thanks.
