Answer 1

Actually a more complete answer than suppressingfire is

1. Add com.ibm.ws.admin.client_7.0.0.jar to java build

   This solves the java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.ibm.ffdc.Manager error.

2. Add to setup:

   import java.security.Security;
   ...
   Security.setProperty("ssl.SocketFactory.provider", "com.ibm.jsse2.SSLSocketFactoryImpl");
   

   This solves the Cannot find the specified class com.ibm.websphere.ssl.protocol.SSLSocketFactory

Answer 2

When I enabled javax.net.debug, I noticed that there was a missing class com.ibm.websphere.com.ibm.websphere.ssl.protocol.SSLSocketFactory.

I was experiencing trouble in unit tests that invoke httpclient. What I ended up doing was to add this line to my TestClass.setUp()

Security.setProperty("ssl.SocketFactory.provider", "com.ibm.jsse2.SSLSocketFactoryImpl");
