I think that the problem is with backslashes in my path when we pass through this code KeyStorePath.getStorePath(), it ends up truncating the path.

public class KeystorePath {

public static String getStorePath(String storeLeaf) {
String path = System.getProperty("user.dir");
// Under eclipse/junit: path to project in repo: <repo>/connectors
// Under ant/junit: <repo>/connectors/<project>/unittests/testrunxxxxxxx
if (!path.endsWith("/connectors"))

{ int indx = path.indexOf("/connectors/"); indx += "/connectors/".length() - 1; path = path.substring(0, indx); }

path += "/wsclient-javax.websocket/src/test/keystores/" + storeLeaf;
if (!new File(path).exists())
throw new IllegalArgumentException("File does not exist: "+path);
return path;
}

}
