这两天在twitter服务器上忽然遇到这样的异常：

e: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target 

经过检查确认，完整的异常信息应该如下：

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

后来到twitter开发者网站上去看到了也有人遇到了类似的问题，链接如下：https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/533

但是都没说明具体的解决方法，郁闷啊！！

在oracle某一博客上说是可以这样解决的：http://blogs.oracle.com/gc/entry/unable_to_find_valid_certification

但是悲催的是那个java类已经无法下载了。。。。历经N次的google，终于找到该文件了，不敢独享，记录于此。

问题的根本是：

缺少安全证书时出现的异常。

解决问题方法：

将你要访问的webservice/url....的安全认证证书导入到客户端即可。

以下是获取安全证书的一种方法，通过以下程序获取安全证书：

编译InstallCert.java，然后执行：java InstallCert hostname，比如：
java InstallCert www.twitter.com
会看到如下信息：
java InstallCert www.twitter.com
Loading KeyStore /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_16/jre/lib/security/cacerts...
Opening connection to www.twitter.com:443...
Starting SSL handshake...

Enter certificate to add to trusted keystore or 'q' to quit: [1]

输入1，回车，然后会在当前的目录下产生一个名为“ssecacerts”的证书。
将证书拷贝到$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security目录下，或者通过以下方式：
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "你的jssecacerts证书路径");

注意：因为是静态加载，所以要重新启动你的Web Server，证书才能生效。
