Is there a java setting for disabling certificate validation?

I received this error while trying to start up an application:

Sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path validation failed: 
java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException:  java.net.UnknownHostException:oscp.thawte.com

The application is behind a closed network and won't ever be able to get to oscp.thawte.com. Is there a java setting that can disable this?
