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:

Are you getting this error? This simply means that the web server or the URL you are connecting to does not have a valid certificate from an authorized CA. But however, being a programmer you would want to find out the alternative way to solve this issue."

java.io.IOException: HTTPS hostname wrong: should be

java.io.IOException: HTTPS hostname wrong: should be

This error occurs when you are trying to access a HTTPS url. You might have already installed the server certificate to your JRE's keystore. But this error means that the name of the server certificate does not match with the actual domain name of the server that is mentioned in the URL. This normally happens when you are using a non CA issued certificate.

But of course you can overcome this problem by instructing the JRE to trust all certificates and to ignore the mis match in the domain name and the certificate issuer. Here is the snippet of code that can be used to achieve this.

NotifyUtil::java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

If you are seeing this 'NotifyUtil::java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect' error in your tomcat stdout log file then I am sure it keeps repeating quite frequently and your log file grows tremendously due to this error.

This error may not be affecting the functionality of your webapps but it will affect the performance of the tomcat and slow it down. The main cause of this error is due to some sort of http monitor setting in your tomcat web.xml file. The complete error looks like this.
