This usually means that there is no security provider installed
(such as the JSSE reference implementation provider) that
implements an SSLContext. See the README file from the download page
at the JDC. You need to either edit your JRE jre/lib/security/java.security
file so that the JSSE reference implementation provider is statically
configured or you need to dynamically configure it using the
addProvider() call on the java.security.Security class.
