I *think* I tested this on a non-Sun VM (Kaffee) at the time, but can't swear to it. In any case, both of the following methods say they will search all available packages for an alternate if the specified provider isn't found.
KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("JKS","SUN"); myFactory = TrustManagerFactory.getInstance("SunX509");
Given that, and that I suspect this is relatively boiler-plate for most applications, this becomes the significant local variable:
FileInputStream("/path/to/cacerts"), null);
// which could easily - in theory! - be an io tag attribute:
<io:http url="https://secure.example.com/program"; cert="/path/to/cacerts" action="POST" input="true" output="true">
Anyway, if someone has an easier way to do the necessary setup, I'd be interested in seeing it :-)
