android - Connecting to azure database using jtds from android

Question

I'm designing an android app to directly connect to an azure database using the open source jtds driver version 1.2.7. I've successfully connected to an sql server express database, so I know it works. When attempting to connect to the azure database, though, I get an error. Here's the stacktrace:

It looks like the problem is the java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.sun.net.ssl.SSLContext but I have no idea what to do about this. I believe that force encryption is turned on at the database, but I did not set it up and I don't have permission to mess with those settings. Any idea what to do about this error?
