Issue with SSL encryption between WebSphere App & Oracle database

Question

we have our java application deployed in WebSphere Application server(8.5.5.12) with IBM SDK 8.0.5.17 with backend database as oracle (12.1.0.2.0). we are now trying to encrypt the data between WebSphere Application and the database. We have followed the exact steps documented in the following linkhttps://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/d89a3ddf-2acf-4cc8-b11b-14f33b5c653e/entry/Configuring_Secure_Socket_Layer_SSL_communication_between_the_OpenPages_application_server_WebSphere_and_the_Oracle_database?lang=en When we try to test the data source connection getting following error

java.sql.SQLRecoverableException: IO Error: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unexpected error: java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException: the trustAnchors parameter must be non-empty DSRA0010E: SQL State = 08006, Error Code = 17,002.

same configuration works perfect with IBM SDK version 7 (7.0.4.1) but not with IBM SDK 8, does any one experienced similar issue or do you see any known issues configuring SSL with IBM SDK 8.Also copied the ssl debug log
