SSL handshake error when calling Web Service

Question

Hi Grant,
I am using your example here:
http://groundside.com/blog/GrantRonald.php?title=calling_a_web_service_from_oracle_forms__2&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
to call a web service from forms 10g on a machine with no proxies set up.
I get to the point where I click the button that calls this code:
DECLARE
     jo ora_java.jobject;
     xo ora_java.jobject;
     rv varchar2(100);
     --rv number;
     ex ora_java.jobject;
BEGIN
     jo := SendServiceSoapClient.new;
     rv := SendServiceSoapClient.sendMessage(jo,'07000000000', 'Test text message from Forms', xo, xo);
--     rv := SendServiceSoapClient.sendMessage(jo,:block6.number_to_text, :block6.text_msg, xo, xo);
EXCEPTION
     WHEN ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR then
                    message('Unable to call out to Java, ' ||ORA_JAVA.LAST_ERROR);
     WHEN ORA_JAVA.EXCEPTION_THROWN then
                    ex := ORA_JAVA.LAST_EXCEPTION;
     --     message(Exception_.toString(ex));
     --     message(Exception_.toString(ex));
     :block6.item11 := Exception_.toString(ex);
END;
I then get the message:
java.rmi.RemoteException: ; nested exception is:
     HTTP transport error: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Message send failed: javax.net.ssl.SSLException: SSL handshake failed: X509CertChainIncompleteErr
My Jinitiator box says:
Loading http://xpjdev11g.uk.conde-nast.biz:8889/forms/java/frmall_jinit.jar from JAR cache
Loading http://xpjdev11g.uk.conde-nast.biz:8889/forms/java/wsarchive3.jar from JAR cache
proxyHost=null
proxyPort=0
connectMode=HTTP, native.
Forms Applet version is : 10.1.2.0
Please note additional steps:
I have tried to sign my JAR file (called wsarchive3.jar) - not sure if I have it done it correctly??
I have added the JAR file in the system CLASSPATH
I have added the JAR file to formsweb.cfg
If you could help with the SSL error, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Let me check - have you got the "HOW TO" I created working when you use the following WSDL
http://www.esendex.com/secure/messenger/soap/SendService.asmx?wsdl
Does this work ok from Forms?
The reason I ask is there is an HTTP web service (which is what the how to documents) but there is also and HTTPS versions - if you are getting errors about SSL it might be you are using the HTTPS version
I just want to make sure I understand what you have and have not working so far.
