解决PKIX path building failed的问题

在一次调试中，出现了这个错误：

这个错误最终定位在这个方法： 

protected final String retrieveResponseFromServer(final URL validationUrl,
final String ticket) {
HttpURLConnection connection = null;
try {
connection = (HttpURLConnection) validationUrl.openConnection();
final BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
connection.getInputStream()));


String line;
final StringBuffer stringBuffer = new StringBuffer(255);


synchronized (stringBuffer) {
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
stringBuffer.append(line);
stringBuffer.append("\n");
}
return stringBuffer.toString();
}


} catch (final IOException e) {
log.error(e, e);
return null;
} catch (final Exception e1){
log.error(e1, e1);
return null;
}finally {
if (connection != null) {
connection.disconnect();
}
}
}

后来上网查了很久，说是证书出问题了，服务器不信任我们自己创建的证书，所以在代码中必须要忽略证书信任问题。只要在创建connection之前调用两个方法： 

trustAllHttpsCertificates();
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(hv);

具体的实现是： 

HostnameVerifier hv = new HostnameVerifier() {
        public boolean verify(String urlHostName, SSLSession session) {
            System.out.println("Warning: URL Host: " + urlHostName + " vs. "
                               + session.getPeerHost());
            return true;
        }
    };

private static void trustAllHttpsCertificates() throws Exception {
javax.net.ssl.TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new javax.net.ssl.TrustManager[1];
javax.net.ssl.TrustManager tm = new miTM();
trustAllCerts[0] = tm;
javax.net.ssl.SSLContext sc = javax.net.ssl.SSLContext
.getInstance("SSL");
sc.init(null, trustAllCerts, null);
javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sc
.getSocketFactory());
}


static class miTM implements javax.net.ssl.TrustManager,
javax.net.ssl.X509TrustManager {
public java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
return null;
}


public boolean isServerTrusted(
java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs) {
return true;
}


public boolean isClientTrusted(
java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs) {
return true;
}


public void checkServerTrusted(
java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs, String authType)
throws java.security.cert.CertificateException {
return;
}


public void checkClientTrusted(
java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs, String authType)
throws java.security.cert.CertificateException {
return;
}
}
