Java client can't access web service using SSL over HTTPS

We have a simple web application in Java running on WebLogic secured with SSL over https. The name of the server is dev-service1. Access to the web app using a browser with https works fine, however, with a standalone Java client we are getting the following error indicating that the "dev-service1" is not found in the client.jks file.

com.sun.xml.internal.ws.client.ClientTransportException:
HTTP transport error: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertificateException:
No name matching dev-service1 found
   at com.sun.xml.internal.ws.transport.http.client.HttpClientTransport.getOutput(HttpClientTransport.java:121)

Do we have to export a new client.jks file from the server.jks file using Java's keytool?

You will need to add the self-signed certificate from the server into your clients truststore.

I would recommend using the InstallCert program that can be found in one of two places.

Quick note. I'm fairly sure that the above programs will NOT add the certificate from the server to your default truststore that ships with java. So you will have to set the -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore and -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword VM Arguments in your command line that you use to start your client.
