Answer 1

Shyam, Did you find the solution for the problem? If yes, could you pls share it.

Answer 2

When I enabled javax.net.debug, I noticed that there was a missing class com.ibm.websphere.com.ibm.websphere.ssl.protocol.SSLSocketFactory.

I was experiencing trouble in unit tests that invoke httpclient. What I ended up doing was to add this line to my TestClass.setUp()

Security.setProperty("ssl.SocketFactory.provider", "com.ibm.jsse2.SSLSocketFactoryImpl");
