Hi Antonino, I encountered the same problem and wasn't able to solve it until now. I posted on this list but got no answer :( What I came up with:
-> 1: This might be a Problem with the location/setup of your keystore(s). It worked for me after going through the tutorials several times... -> 2: If you start your java client with "-Djavax.net.debug=ssl" you can trace the whole SSL protocol sequence. I tested it with both a SOAP-over-SSL and the "SSLSocketWithClientClientAuth"-sample that comes with JSSE. The latter one worked fine whereas the SOAP client exited with the same message as yours. From the SSL debug trace I could see that the client was unable to send its certificate upon request of the server - no idea why. Finally I came up with using HTTP BASIC AUTH over HTTPS - shouldn't have any serious security implications as the creds are encrypted as they travel over network. Let me now if you need help with this.
