Programmatically specify client cert as part of web service call : Java

I have several client certs in my certstore/cacert files and would
like to programmatically specify which should be included in a WS
call. I would like to do this independent of the server requiring
SSL.

This is possible in .NET using the ClientCertificates collection of
the SoapHttpClientProtocol class. I haven't found the java
equivalent.

Ok, forget about selecting a specific cert to use; I can't even a
single cert to work. Here's what I have so far:

<codeSnippet>
TrustManager[] trustManagers = <uses .pks file>
KeyManager[] keyManagers = <used .p12 file>

try
{
SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
sc.init(keyManagers, trustManagers, new java.security.SecureRandom());
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sc.g etSocketFactory());
}
catch (Exception ex) { ... }
</codeSnippet>

I have confirmed that the TrustManager is using the certs in the .pks
for the SSL handshake. However, no local cert is being sent.

"used"? or "uses"?
