The current javax SSL api does not include trust management
and private key management apis. The intent was to focus on
the socket-level apis aimed at "end-user" application code and leave
these issues for implementation-specific apis. We will soon be
starting the process for version 2 of the api and the intent is to
move trust and key management into the javax api set.
