Calling web service: javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Received fatal alert: protocol_version

I debugged ssl handshake, by the log I suppose both server and client uses TLSv1.

Even tried setting System.setProperty("https.protocols", "TLSv1"); still no success.

I'm unable to figure out the exact cause of this problem.

Can anyone please guide me on this. I'm using Java 1.7.0_65

keyStore is : 
keyStore type is : jks
keyStore provider is : 
init keystore
init keymanager of type SunX509
trustStore is: E:\Java\jdk1.7.0_65\jre\lib\security\cacerts

'I suppose both server and client uses TLSv1.' Do you also have commonly supported cipher suites? I see a lots messages like 'Ignoring unavailable cipher suite: ...'. – blafasel
Sorry @blafasel what does 'Ignoring unavailable cipher suite' mean. I'm new to this concepts. And how do I get around it – ImCoder
SSL-Handshake performs a negotiation of the protocol, the negotiation of the cipher suite to use and afterwards the initialization of this cipher (key exchange etc.). The cipher suites mentioned in the log output use either sha or md5 as a digest algorithm. I only noticed that some modern ciphers with GCM and SHA2 are missing. If the server is public available I'd suppose to get some more information of the supported cipher suites ... you could use ssllabs.com for example. – blafasel
@blafasel the server runs in our intranet. – ImCoder
Then I suppose to test it with openssl s_client -connect <server-name>:<port> -tls1 -cipher <some cipher from the list above>. – blafasel

I resolved the issue by setting https.protocols property. Used @blafasel suggestion to test with openssl s_client -connect <server-name>:<port> -tls1 -cipher <some cipher from the list above> and found that the server was using TLSv1.2. Below is the code to set the property.

System.setProperty("https.protocols", "TLSv1.2");
