Problems configuring https connection

Hi, I am having trouble configuring my https connection. I have successfully 
used the default RMI configuration and have also got the http connection 
working. So I assume that I have the open jms servlet installed correctly. 
Basically I am getting this error message when I attempt to publish a 
message:

javax.jms.JMSException: Failed to process request createPublisher: session 
not found
at org.exolab.jms.server.mipc.IpcJmsSessionConnection.notify(
IpcJmsSessionConnection.java:122)

at org.exolab.jms.server.mipc.IpcServerChannel.run(IpcServerChannel.java
:161)

I am running Tomcat 5.5 using Java 1.5. Here are some of my configuration 
settings:
Tomcat server.xml file:
<!-- Define a SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 
--> 
<Connector port="8443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" 
minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" 
disableUploadTimeout="true" acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true" 
clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" /> 

openjms.xml file (in its entirety):
<?xml version="1.0" ?> 
- <!-- 
OpenJMS configuration:
. RMI connectors 
. JDBM persistency
. embedded JNDI provider
. embedded RMI registry, running on port 1099

when using an RMI connector.

Here is how I am calling from my code:
Hashtable props = new Hashtable();

System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "C:\\Documents and 
Settings\\greeniet\\.keystore");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", "C:\\Documents and 
Settings\\greeniet\\.keystore");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType", "jks");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "changeit");

props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"org.exolab.jms.jndi.http.SslHttpJndiInitialContextFactory");
props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "https://localhost:8443/");

try {
Context context = new InitialContext(props);
factory = (TopicConnectionFactory) context.lookup
("HTTPSTopicConnectionFactory");

} catch (NamingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.err.println("Connection Error Received, System Will Exit");
System.exit(0);
}

The above code execute successfully. I get my error when I try to publish a 
message:
try{
TopicSession tmpSession = connection.createTopicSession(false,
Session.CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE);
connection.start();
Topic topic = tmpSession.createTopic(msg.getTopic());
TopicPublisher publisher = session.createPublisher(topic);
int delivery_mode = DeliveryMode.PERSISTENT;
// need to copy message else destination will change, and ack will fail.
ObjectMessage message = tmpSession.createObjectMessage(msg);
publisher.publish(message, delivery_mode, 1, 0);
tmpSession.close();
} catch (JMSException exception) {
success = false;
exception.printStackTrace();
System.err.println("Error Publishing Message.");
}

The red bold line is the one the error is thrown on.

Any suggestions or help is much appreciated. And thanks in advance.
All of the documentation on the site has been great and I have looked 
through the mailing list archives, but I can't seem to solve this problem.

Thank you,
