Ignore SSL Certificate in a Java application

The below code snippet is very useful to test a java application which uses SSL certificate or to avoid SSL certificate related issues but don't know whether this is recommended..

import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;
import javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection;
import javax.net.ssl.SSLContext;
import javax.net.ssl.TrustManager;
import javax.net.ssl.X509TrustManager;

@PostConstruct
    public void ignoreSSLCertificate() {
        TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[] { new X509TrustManager() {
            public void checkClientTrusted(java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs, String authType) {
            }

            public void checkServerTrusted(java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs, String authType) {
            }

            public java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
                return null;
            }
        } };

        try {
            SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
            sslContext.init(null, trustAllCerts, new java.security.SecureRandom());
            HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sslContext.getSocketFactory());
        } catch (Exception e) {
        }
    }
