initKeyStore: java.io.IOException: Invalid keystore format error when I start Tomcat 4.0.3

[Gajaraj <ga...@uaeexchange.com>]

Hello
 
We are implementing Sybse open source for ebXML Messaging, I have done
the following mentioned in the installation guide give by Sybase:
 
1. I have downloaded all the jar
files(dom4.jar,jcert.jar,j2ee.jar,jnet.jar,jsse.jar,log4.jar,xss4j.jar,x
alan.jar,xerces.jar) and put them in the lib dir under %CATALINA_HOME%.
   Where CATALINA_HOME is points to the location of Tomcat Installation.
2. Also I have added the entry: set JSSE_HOME=%CATALINA_HOME%\common in
Catalina.bat file.
3. Generated the Keystore and certificate using CreateTomcatCerts.bat
file under webapps\ebXML dir.(The tomcat.cer and tomcat.pfx file are
created in this dir)
4. Uncommented the section for HTTPS connection in
%CATALINA_HOME%\conf\server.xml file.
 
But when I comment the HTTPS in step 4, and then start the Tomcat 4.0.3,
it starts without reporting any error.
 
Problem:
 
The problem is when I uncomment step 4 and re-start the Tomcat4.0.3
again, I get the following error:
