Accessing an https URL from my jsp page

[st...@hushmail.com]

I just can't figure out how I can access an https URL from a jsp 
page.  I've tried everything.  For example,

<c:import url="https://www.my-ssl-url-here.com/"/>

always results in:

javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: 
Problem accessing the absolute URL "https://www.my-ssl-url-
here.com/". 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

What I'm really trying to do is use a JAR file which downloads a 
file over https, but I figure I might as well get <c:imiport/> 
working first...

After hours and hours of googling and trying everything I can find, 
I have gotten nowhere.  There's no catalina.policy file anywhere on 
my computer, no server.xml, etc.

I greatly appreciate any help I can get on this... step by step 
instructions would be fantastic.  I just have no idea where to put 
anything like catalina.policy or server.xml (if they're even 
required) because the directory & file names in my Geronimo 
directory have absolutely nothing in common with any information I 
can find on this topic on the web :(

So is the problem that the HTTPS server certificate is not trusted
until you configure something for your SSL client?  You might be able
to import the CA cert for the server into the default trust store at
var/security/keystore (at least, that's where it is for now; it will
be moved in Geronimo 1.2).

Thanks,
