Hi,
I have an application which does some web service calls over SSL.

When the application does a web service call to a server which I don't
have the certificate in the keystore, I get an exception, which is ok.

Is there a way I can add the certificate to the keystore at runtime and
then do the web service call again?

I tried to add it using code like the following:

...
      KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance(KeyStore.getDefaultType());
...
        ks.load(new FileInputStream(ksf), pw);
...
      ks.setCertificateEntry(alias,
      CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509").generateCertificate(new
FileInputStream(certFile)));
...
      ks.store(new FileOutputStream(ksf), pw);

But the above does not work (the certificate is only active after I
restart my application), and I think its because te KeyStore.getInstance
methode returns a -new- instance, not the one being currenlty used by
Java's SSL classes.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks.
Andre.
