在取得connection的时候和正常浏览器访问一样，仍然会验证服务端的证书是否被信任（权威机构发行或者被权威机构签名）；如果服务端证书不被信任，则默认的实现就会有问题，一般来说，java在访问ssl的链接时经常会报错误：

原因就是缺少信任的安全证书时出现的异常。
客户端在进行SSL连接时，JSSE将根据这个文件中的证书决定是否信任服务器端的证书。在SunJSSE中，有一个信任管理器类负责决定是否信任远端的证书，这个类有如下的处理规则：
1)若系统属性javax.net.sll.trustStore指定了TrustStore文件，那么信任管理器就去jre安装路径下的lib/security/目录中寻找并使用这个文件来检查证书。
2)若该系统属性没有指定TrustStore文件，它就会去jre安装路径下寻找默认的TrustStore文件，这个文件的相对路径为：lib/security/jssecacerts。
3)若jssecacerts不存在，但是cacerts存在（它随J2SDK一起发行，含有数量有限的可信任的基本证书），那么这个默认的TrustStore文件就是lib/security/cacerts。
可以通过下面的方法给java增加信任证书：
1、从chrome浏览器中导出 证书的cer格式文件；
2.导入cer证书到java的证书信任库
D:Program FilesJavajdk1.6.0_07in>keytool -import -keystore jssecacerts -file purchase.cer -alias purchase
输入keystore密码：changeit
再次输入新密码:changeit
keytool用法总结
3、把生成的 jssecacerts文件放到$Javahomejdk1.6.0_07jrelibsecurity目录下就可以了。
