It looks like your problem is related to the SSL protocol versions mismatch. Stellar official Testnet Horizon instance has only TLSv1.2 enabled, while TLSv1.1, TLSv1.0, SSLv3, SSLv2 are disabled (you can check it here).

Consider switching to Java 8, they made TLSv1.2 the default SSL protocol starting with Java 8, it was TLSv1.0 in Java 7. Or you can use -Djdk.tls.client.protocols=TLSv1.2 flag to specify the protocol explicitly.

Check additional info regarding Java SSL support here.

  • Thank you for your reply! I am using Java 7 in the code when i have set System.setProperty("https.protocols", "TLSv1.2"); which fixed most of the stellar related issues in my code except the SubmitTransaction
