Is it possible to configure a WebServiceTemplate with a java keystore?

I think you can programatically load a keystore based using a KeyStore.Builder:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/security/KeyStore.Builder.html#newInstance%28java.lang.String,%20java.security.Provider,%20java.io.File,%20java.security.KeyStore.ProtectionParameter%29

So maybe have a class that has a webservice template or extends it, then set the file path of the keystore on it in your spring config and make it an inizialing bean (@PostConstruct in Spring 3?) which then loads the keystore.

File f = new File(keyStorePath);
KeyStore.Builder builder = KeyStore.Builder.newInstance("type",provider,file,protection);
KeyStore keystore = builder.getKeyStore();

Ok - to actually use it with your webservicetemplate i think it must be based around the keystore callback as documented here: http://static.springsource.org/spring-ws/sites/1.5/reference/html/security.html#d0e4462

Or maybe by using the spring org.springframework.ws.transport.http.HttpsUrlConnectionMessageSender which you can set keystoremanager on. Then that can be used by your webservicetemplate.

A bit like this:
