Jersey client not working for SSL connection in wildfly 9.0.2

Question

I have a Jersey client deployed in JEE 7 application. I'm trying to reach out to REST web service deployed over TLS protocol. When I use the same code in a standard java SE 8 application, it does work. But in the web application deployed on wildfly 9.0.2 I got the following error:

javax.ws.rs.ProcessingException: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Bellow is the client code

Client client = ClientBuilder.newBuilder().build();
HttpAuthenticationFeature authFeature = HttpAuthenticationFeature.basic("login","password");
client.register(authFeature);
String host = "https://example.com";
Response response = client.target(host).path("create")
                .request(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
                .post(Entity.entity(json.toString(), MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON));

here is my jersey client in the pom.xml file

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.core</groupId>
    <artifactId>jersey-client</artifactId>
    <version>2.24</version>
</dependency>

"https://example.com" has got a valid and secure TLS certificate.

I'm using: wildfly 9.0.2; Java EE 7; Java SE 8; jersey client 2.24

Thanks for any help.

Just a thought: maybe WildFly uses its own truststore, different from the one used by Java SE? — korolar, Nov 15 '17 at 16:42
Even so. It's a valid and secure SSL certificate issued by known CA — Salearnah, Nov 15 '17 at 16:56
@korolar Your are right! wildfly was started using a private keystore. Your thought helped me. Thank you — Salearnah, Nov 15 '17 at 18:15
