Connecting to https with jdk1.5 throwing InvalidAlgorithmParameterException

Question

Hi,
My current system has jdk1.3, weblogic7.1 and axis1.1.
I have a simple class in java which I use to connect to https://*.jsp.
Here is the sample code.
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore","/usr/local/client.keystore");
System.setProperty"java.protocol.handler.pkgs", "com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");
Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());   
System.setProperty("java.security.egd", "file:/dev/urandom");
URL url = new URL("https://xyz.com/index.jsp");
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(url.openStream());
   char[] buf = new char[1024];
    int nread;
    while ((nread = isr.read(buf, 0, buf.length)) > 0)
      System.out.print(new String(buf, 0, nread));
    System.out.flush();This code works well in jdk1.3 with jsse.jar, jnet.jar, jcert.jar in the classpath and a keystore which has a trusted entry for https://xyz.com/
I use the first 4lines of the code in a Axis Client to transfer SOAP msgs in https protocol.
Now I am migrating to JDK1.5, WebLogic9.1 and Axis1.3.
I have the same keystore. I do not have jsse.jar, jnet.jar, jcert.jar because jdk1.5 has JSSE.
This same set of code is giving exception in JDK1.5.
Any Solution?
Thanks
