PKIX path building failed
使用httpclient对接多个第三方应用，云服务形式的接口都没有问题，唯独一家私有部署的系统，死活握不了手。对方的系统用浏览器访问无误（https）。程序访问就是不行：

奇怪的是同一个程序访问其他家的https接口就没有。
其实核心原因很简单，就是java的自身证书库里没有他们家的。按如下步骤操作即可解决问题
1、找对方要证书，例如server.cer
2、复制到$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/目录下
3、执行keytool -import -alias mycert -file ./server.cer -keystore ./cacerts -storepass changeit
其中changeit是java证书文件默认访问密码，如果改过就需要搜索自己的脑子了。
操作后，重启程序，问题OK
