Musings of a Trained Monkey

I ran into a puzzling situation trying to setup Yale's CAS and the Spring Framework/Acegi contacts sample application on my workstation. I had CAS deployed on Tomcat 5.5 and the Acegi sample application deployed on BEA WebLogic 9.0, both running under Sun's JDK 1.5.0_06. I kept getting errors like: I couldn't figure this out because the server.xml for Tomcat included both the keystoreFile and truststoreFile parameters for the SSL connection.

I am not sure why but putting the following option on the Tomcat command line solved the problem:
You can also see from this that it is a Windows workstation... I am documenting this for the benefit of other programmers and Google (which doesn't have much of anything about this particular problem).
