Java 1.4 SHA265 problem?

I currently support an outdated e-commerce application that runs on Java 1.4.

I understand that 1.4 does not support SSL certificates signed with SHA256, is this correct and will I have problems establishing connections with other sites requesting the use of this certificate?

Are there any known solutions to this problem?

This is not entirely true: SHA-256 (and SHA-384, SHA-512) were introduced in 1.4.2

If there is no room for updating, you can use bouncycastle as a security provider. At http://www.bouncycastle.org/specifications.html#install (section 5.0 of the Bouncy Castle Provider) you will find information on registering him as a provider.
