Java Webstart Trust Store SSL

Need some guidance.

I have a Java Webstart application and I want it to connect to a server via SSL. Just add a property like: System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "my.keystore"); however, it doesn't work since the JAWS program is downloading the file from the server and there is no file on the local filesystem my.keystore. So it was decided to distribute the certificate to all clients.

1. Read this truststore as a stream (using the getResourceAsStream method).
2. save it in any file on the client computer (sometimes)
3. 调用System.setProperty（“ javax.net.ssl.trustStore”，trustStorePath）；

However, I'm sure there is a better solution than this.

public boolean validateUserFromActiveDirectory(String userId) {
                    final String MEMBER_GROUP = "CN=asdadasd,OU=asdasdasd Accounts,OU=adasdas,OU=asdasdas,DC=asdasdas,DC=asdasdas,DC=adasdasd,DC=asdasdasd";
            String employeeNumber = "";
            final String LDAP_INIT_CTX = "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory";
            final String LDAP_URL = "ldap://xx-ssssssss.eee.eee.eeeee.eeeee:636";
            final String MY_ATTRS[] = { "employeeNumber" };
            String adminPassword = "somepassword";
            String securityProtocol = "ssl";
            boolean isValidUser = false;
            try {

                  Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
                  env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, LDAP_INIT_CTX);
                  env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, LDAP_URL);
                  env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
                  env.put(Context.REFERRAL, "follow");
                  env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, MEMBER_GROUP);
                  env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, adminPassword);
                  env.put(Context.SECURITY_PROTOCOL, securityProtocol);

            //C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Local Settings\Temp
            File tf = File.createTempFile("someTruststore", ".jks");
            tf.deleteOnExit();
            byte buffer[] = new byte[0x1000];
               ClassLoader cl = JNDI.class.getClassLoader();
            InputStream in = cl.getResourceAsStream(
                    "someTruststore.jks");
            FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(tf);
            int cnt;
            while ((cnt = in.read(buffer)) != -1)
                out.write(buffer, 0, cnt);
            in.close();
            out.close();
            System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", tf
                            .getAbsolutePath());

                  DirContext context = new InitialLdapContext(env, null);
                  SearchControls searchControls = new SearchControls();
                  searchControls.setSearchScope(SearchControls.SUBTREE_SCOPE);
                  NamingEnumeration results = context.search(
                              "XX=ent,XX=abc,XX=aaaaa,XX=aaaa", "(sAMAccountName="
                                          + userId + ")", searchControls);

                  if (results != null && results.hasMore()) {
                      //some logic

                        }
                  }
            } catch (Exception e) {
                  e.printStackTrace();
            }
            return isValidUser;
      }

Laz thanks for your patience and trying to learn when you have time. I started writing my own CustomSSLSocketFactory..now I'm bypassing the security...according to the platinum solution's example, if I do...will the information be passed on the wire in clear text?

Now I want to know what to do with the truststore file where I have the "sometruststore.jks" file. what should i do.. do i have my own custom trustmanager software? Please point me in the right direction.
