Establish SSL connection to Oracle Instance w/JDBC Thin Client

Question

Hello all,
I am writing a monitoring utility that will allow me to establish connections to both Oracle instances and LDAP repositories and query them to determine that they are up and running. My utility consists of a number of objects that handle connections to the LDAP and Oracle instances. I need to be able to do SSL and non-SSL connections to said instances.
My issue is this: I am able to do SSL and non-SSL to LDAP, and non-SSL to an Oracle instance. I am having problems, though, establishing an SSL connection to an Oracle instance (I am using the thin client). Whenever I try, a SQLException is thrown that states: "Encountered a problem with the secret store. Check the wallet location for the presense of an <b>open</b> wallet (cwallet.sso) and ensure that the wallet contains the correct credentials..."
Ok, a little background for those who may need it. Oracle uses a wallet to hold certs that allow SSL connections. I have a wallet on my box, and, from the command line, I am able to sqlplus into and tnsping the appropriate Oracle instances, so I know it is setup properly. The inability to connect only occurs in my code. My code looks like this:
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
Security.addProvider(new oracle.security.pki.OraclePKIProvider());
/*Setup connection properties*/
String connectionString = "testbox01:1000:ssl_instances_name";
String userName = "userName";
String pwd = "password";
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("oracle.net.ssl_version", 3.0");
props.put("oracle.net.wallet_location", "SOURCE=(METHOD=file)(METHOD_DATA=(DIRECTORY=c:\\wallet)))");
props.put("oracle.net.ssl_cipher_suites", "ssl cipher suites");
props.put("oracle.net.ssl_server_dn_match", "FALSE");
props.put("oracle.net.ssl_client_authentication", "true");
/*Do connection and return connection object
OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();
ods.setUser(userName);
ods.setPassword(pwd);
ods.setUrl("jdbc:oracle:thin:@" + connectionString);
ods.setConnectionProperties(props);
Connection conn = ods.getConnection(); <---This is where code errors out with SQLException described above.
return conn;
And that's pretty much it. Anyone have any ideas?

Ok, that looked horrible. Let's try this again:<br>
