SSL Implementation

Question

Hi all
I've attempted to make a secure connection between my tomcat server and my Ipaq(running jeode) using Suns JSSE extension. I have seen that JSSE is compatible with this runtime but I keep encountering the error "SSL implementation not available". I have created an entry in the java.security class for the provider com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider, I have also attempted to add the provider dynamically by calling
java.security.Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
Followed by setting protocol for handling SSL based connecting
System.getProperties().put("java.protocol.handler.pkgs", "com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");
I have noted from a forum message that the problem could be due to the truststore, although I have given a reference to truststore and the password in my class:
     System.getProperties().put("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "Client\\clienttruststore");
     System.getProperties().put("javax.net.ssl.trustStoreType", "JCEKS");
     System.getProperties().put("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "PASSWORD");
I really can't see what else I'm missing, perhaps the truststore or the JSSE jars need to be held in a particular location on my Ipaq?? Any comments would be appreciated as this has already eaten alot of time, TIA

Thanks for the reply Eric but having tried your suggestion I'm still getting the same error. No matter whether I define these variables on the command line or by making calls to the System within my app it still results in the "SSL implementation not available" error. I have expanded this stack trace using the jsse debug features and what I am getting seems to indicate that there is not a problem with the truststore but with the keystore.
keystore is:
keystore type is: jks
init keystore
default context init failed:
java.security.PrivilegedActionException
java.net.SocketException: SSL implementation not available
However when I run the same client on my desktop machine running jdk1.4.1, again with the debug set to 'all' the trace shows the following:
keyStore is :
keyStore type is : jks
init keystore
init keymanager of type SunX509
So on my desktop the keystore is being initialised but on the ipaq it is failing? any suggestions??
Thanks again
Tony
