I think you are missing your certificates   You can try generating them by using InstallCerts app  Here you can see how to use it  https   github com escline InstallCert  Once you get your certificate  you need to put it under your security directory within your jdk home  for example   C  Program Files Java jdk1 6 0 45 jre lib security   Let me know if it works

In my case  I got this problem because I had given the server a non-existent certificate  due to a typo in the config file  Instead of throwing an exception  the server proceeded like normal and sent an empty certificate to the client  So it might be worth checking to make sure that the server is providing the correct response   I experienced this error while using the Jersey Client to connect to a server  The way I resolved it was by debugging the library and seeing that it actually did receive an EOF the moment it tried to read  I also tried connecting using a web browser and got the same results   Just writing this here in case it ends up helping anyone

I faced the same issue once  I think its because of the URL   String xmlServerURL    https   example com soap WsRouter    Check whether its a proper one or not     javax net ssl SSLHandshakeException is because the server not able to connect to the specified URL because of following reason-   Either the identity of the website is not verified  Server s certificate does not match the URL  Or  Server s certificate is not trusted

I had the same error  but in my case it was caused by the DEBUG mode in Intellij IDE  The debug slowed down the library and then server ended communication at handshake phase  The standard  RUN  worked perfectly

Java 7 defaults to TLS 1 0  which can cause this error when that protocol is not accepted  I ran into this problem with a Tomcat application and a server that would not accept TLS 1 0 connections any longer  I added  -Dhttps protocols TLSv1 1 TLSv1 2   to the Java options and that fixed it   Tomcat was running Java 7

Not an answer yet  but too much for a comment  This is clearly not a server cert problem  the symptoms of that are quite different  From your system s POV  the server appears to be closing during the handshake  There are two possibilities   The server really is closing  which is a SSL TLS protocol violation though a fairly minor one  there are quite a few reasons a server might fail to handshake with you but it should send a fatal alert first  which your JSSE or the weblogic equivalent should indicate  In this case there may well be some useful information in the server log  if you are able  and permitted  to communicate with knowledgeable server admin s   Or you can try putting a network monitor on your client machine  or one close enough it sees all your traffic  personally I like www wireshark org  But this usually shows only that the close came immediately after the ClientHello  which doesn t narrow it down much  You don t say if you are supposed to and have configured a  client cert   actually key amp cert  in the form of a Java privateKeyEntry  for this server  if that is required by the server and not correct  some servers may perceive that as an attack and knowingly violate protocol by closing even though officially they should send an alert   Or  some middlebox in the network  most often a firewall or purportedly-transparent proxy  is deciding it doesn t like your connection and forcing a close  The Proxy you use is an obvious suspect  when you say the  same code  works to other hosts  confirm if you mean through the same proxy  not just a proxy  and using HTTPS  not clear HTTP   If that isn t so  try testing to other hosts with HTTPS through the proxy  you needn t send a full SOAP request  just a GET   if enough   If you can  try connecting without the proxy  or possibly a different proxy  and connecting HTTP  not S  through the proxy to the host  if both support clear  and see if those work   If you don t mind publishing the actual host  but definitely not any authentication credentials  others can try it  Or you can go to www ssllabs com and request they test the server  without publishing the results   this will try several common variations on SSL TLS connection and report any errors it sees  as well as any security weaknesses

A first step to diagnose the issue is by starting the client - and if you are running the server yourself  a private test instance of the server - by starting Java with the VM option   -Djavax net debug all   See also https   blogs oracle com java-platform-group entry diagnosing tls ssl and https

This is what solve my problem   If you are trying to use debugger make sure you breakpoint is not on URL or URLConnection just put your breakpoint on BufferReader or inside while loop   If nothing works try using apache library http   hc apache org index html   no SSL  no JDK update needed  no need to set properties even  just simple trick
