Google Analytics not working with Spring's ContextLoaderListener

[Laryssa Fernandes]

Hi,
I'm having a problem using google analytics Data Export API with Spring. My code to retrieve data from GA is similar to the example given in the sample code.
This works fine in a project that does not have
<listener> <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class> </listener>

in the web.xml. But as soon as this is added, when the code for retrieving the data is called, it gives the below exception. Please can you give any idea why this is happening and how it can be resolved? Thanks

Well the cause it is giving is

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

I can't think of anything offhand in the context loader listener that would cause issues. Are there other listeners you are registering? I would set some breakpoints in GoogleService and see what is going on. Maybe you are not getting the credentials set correctly. I am not familiar with this API so I can provide much help.
