title: java - path to trustStore - set property doesn't work?
body: <p>I've setup a self-signed certificate to test an ssl java connection - however, it is refusing to locate the java trustStore. I've saved copies of it in /Java/jre6/lib/security in addition to the folder where the classes are compiled to (im using netbeans) and also to /java/jre6/bin
  none of the above appears to work, because when i run the following - trustStore = null.</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class ShowTrustStore {
  
      public static void main(String[] args) {
  
          System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", "keystore.jks");
          System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStrore", "cacerts.jks");
          System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "changeit");
  
  
  
          String trustStore = System.getProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore");
          if (trustStore == null) {
              System.out.println("javax.net.ssl.trustStore is not defined");
          } else {
              System.out.println("javax.net.ssl.trustStore = " + trustStore);
          }
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>how to set the path correctly?</p>
  
  <p>**********UPDATE************
  Using the getFile() method and some more debug data:</p>
  
  <pre><code>package ssltest;
  
  public class Main {
  
      public static void main(String[] args) {
  
  //        System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", "/keystore.jks");
  //        System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStrore", "/java.home/cacerts.jks");
  //        System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "changeit");
  //        System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "changeit");
  
          try {
              Main.class.getResource("trustStore.jks").getFile();
          } catch (Exception e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
          }
  
          String trustStore = System.getProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore");
  
          if (trustStore == null) {
              String storeLoc;
              storeLoc = System.getProperty("java.class.path");
              System.out.println("classpath: " + storeLoc);
          }
  
          trustStore = System.getProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore");
          if (trustStore == null) {
              System.out.println("javax.net.ssl.trustStore is not defined");
          } else {
              System.out.println("javax.net.ssl.trustStore = " + trustStore);
          }
      }
  }
