SSL problems using JVM on SQLplus

Hi,

I'm getting the exception:

java.net.SocketException: SSL implementation not available

when trying to create a URL object that begins with https.

I have edited the java.security file and added:

security.provider.N=com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol, and changed N to the next highest available integer. I also put in the System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs", "com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol"); right before I try to create the URL object. After many malformed url exceptions, and privileges that needed to be granted, I am stuck with this exception: java.net.SocketException: SSL implementation not available.

I use TOAD (not sure if you're familiar) to edit the database files I'm working with. Since there is no lib/ext in the JVM directory to put the jsse .jar files in, I loaded them using TOAD...I don't know if this could be the cause of the problem, but any suggestions are welcome. Prior to loading these files though, the system.setProperty line errored out because the files involved were not recognized. Now they compile without error, so I'm assuming that loading these files is somewhat equivalent to placing the .jar files in the working directory in a local environment, which I think would work too... If I'm missing something, please let me know. The JVM is version 1.2.something I believe...Also, after lots of researching I've come across some mention of cacerts, and keytool, which I know nothing about. If this could be a problem also, let me know.

Please help

thanks -- Wes
