Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi,
We have a web service client application which runs fine in Websphere 5.1.2 standalone WSAD and receives response successfully, without any additional settings for SSL (The webservice service URL is https) . But when we moved the code to Websphere 6.0 in production environment, the application receives the following error while sending request to the webservice.

Please help me to understand what is going on with Websphere 6.0 and how does it work in WSAD 5.1.2 without any issues?
Thanks!
