Java Security

We were trying to use the SSL certificate, but we couldn’t succeed as the Java application( JDK 1.6) is throwing the following exception. Are there any specific steps that we have to follow in order to use the GoDaddy certificate in our Java programs while connecting to HTTPS servers?

Your help is much appreciated.
