Need help with contacting HTTPS URL

Hi,

I am new bie to Java Security. I do not know where to start off with. Here is the requirement.

I need to contact an HTTPS URL and this URL gives me output which is encypted data.

I have to save this ecnrypted data into a file and I have the KEY to decrypt the data.

I have tried several ways (all listed below) to get it working. But I am not successful. I get

"javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: No trusted certificate found"

Can you guys give me some insight on how to proceed?

Thanks

Mathew
