Have you considered using a wrapper instead of extending the class
that gets instantiated? In other words:
- MyCustomSSLSocket extends SSLSocket
- keep the wrapped socket from SSLSocketFactory as an attribute
- delegate *all* calls of the SSLSocket class to the wrapped socket
- add your custom modifications to the get{In|Out}putStream methods
Some IDEs have tools that can generate basic wrappers automatically.
One of the few occasions where I admit that IDEs have advantages :-)
hope that helps,
Roland
