Default trustStore not found

Question

When running an application that connects to a remote web server using HTTPS, the exception below occurs.
This exception does not occur if I start the program with the flag "-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=c:\java\jdk6_0\jdk1.6.0_06\jre\lib\security\jssecacerts".
This baffles me, as supposedly, JAVA_HOME\lib\security\jssecacerts is the default trustStore. If it is the default trustStore, it should be working without the -D flag. If it's not, why does the documentation claim it is?
Replacing the "cacerts" file in the same directory with the "jssecacerts" file that works via command line flag also does not work...
Many thanks for any help here...

MacLink Plus by DataViz has translators for Microsoft Works. Whether or not it can open the version of files you have & can re-save them as a format you can use with the programs you have, I don't know.
