Programming with JSSE is not very intuitive.  You'll need to either
import the server's certificate into your trust chain, or implement an
X509TrustManager class before you can connect to an SSL server.  Even if
you import the certificate though, you might still want to write a trust
manager.  For example, if the hostname on the certificate says
"www.foo.com" but you try to connect to foo's IP address, JSSE won't let
you connect.

Did you try implementing an AppletStub?  Of course, decompiling classes
is always informative; I recomment jad.
