Dear All,

Please help me with this general question. I have a 'some_cert.cer' file and 'origin-some-vcert1.key' file, i read these files using Java IO stream and create the 'X509Credential'. My question is : Can i configure '.cer' and '.key' file content in my own XML file and read it from there as a string rather than read it from File using Java IO?

Thank you,
Suguna

If you look in the security package there are helper classes that can
create keys, certs, and CRLs from byte[]. So if you're going to create
your own custom encoding that's what you'd use.
