GCM server push fails with SSLException (Java)


I'm having a problem which occurs sometimes when I send new push notifications to Google Cloud Messaging centre. I'm using Google's library available here. Im using Tomcat 7.0.35 and bouncycastle 1.46. The error occurs only sometimes and I cannot predict when. Here's the stacktrace:

Anyone experienced anything similar?


Solution

  • I had the application running on 2 tomcats 7.0.x with Java 1.7. The problem was occuring only on one of them and was solved by changing to Java 1.6
