I am currently struggling to connect to an SSL enabled JMS Queue using HornetQConnectionFactory in JBoss 6.1.0-Final

My Server is basically running the ssl-enabled hornetQ example configuration and using the default keys(keystore, truststore) provided - the server loads up successfully with no errors and is listening on port 5500.

The Client is a pragmatic JMS Producer Wrapper for HornetQ Connector and should connect to the Server, however it fails to connect.  The following code illustrates how i create the connection

        Map<String, Object> connParams = new HashMap<String, Object>();
        connParams.put(org.hornetq.core.remoting.impl.netty.TransportConstants.PORT_PROP_NAME, port);
        connParams.put(org.hornetq.core.remoting.impl.netty.TransportConstants.HOST_PROP_NAME, host);


        connParams.put(org.hornetq.core.remoting.impl.netty.TransportConstants.SSL_ENABLED_PROP_NAME, true);
        connParams.put(TransportConstants.KEYSTORE_PASSWORD_PROP_NAME, "hornetqexample");
        connParams.put(TransportConstants.KEYSTORE_PATH_PROP_NAME, "/opt/cert/hornetq.example.keystore");


        TransportConfiguration transConfig =
                new TransportConfiguration(NettyConnectorFactory.class.getName(), connParams);


        hcf = new HornetQJMSConnectionFactory(false, transConfig);

        try {
            Queue queue;

            queue = new HornetQQueue(queueName);
            if (username != null && password != null) {

                connection = hcf.createConnection(username, password); //fails here

            } else {
                connection = hcf.createConnection();
            }


            session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
            producer = session.createProducer(queue);
            connection.start();
            connected = true;

        } catch (JMSException ex) {
            // Throw an exception that can be handled by the caller

            logger.error("Problem creating JMS connection", es);
            // Disconnect so that we clean up any partially created components
            disconnect();

            throw commsEx;
        }

The above works when SSL is disabled - however when SSL is enabled the server side errors with

LIke i mentioned before the Server side hornetQ configuration is almost identicle to the ssl-enabled jms example that comes shipped with hornetQ dist 
There are Netty SSL Conenctors and Acceptors configured in the hornetq-configuration.xml the exampleQueue is created on the server side.  So am unsure why i cant connect 
successfully from the client.  However the example does use JNDI lookup where as I am create a HornetQConnector to connect over SSL i wouldnt have thought that will be an issue.

Any help on the above would be greatly appreciated.
