1) Sorry to be a whiner, but the current process documented at http:// 
dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/connector-j-reference-using-ssl.html  
seems to be a lot of steps. If my server is configured with ssl  
support, can't I just set useSSL=true or something like that in the  
JDBC URL, similar to how a web browser just uses https://? If I true  
skipping everything except for that useSSL=true, I get this exception:

java.sql.SQLException: Communication link failure:  
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException, underlying cause: Received fatal  
alert: handshake_failure

2) The current process requires files to exist on the client machine.  
However, we're distributing the JDBC driver in a Java web-start  
application. We want this to be completely self-contained. How can we  
distribute our application without needing to define hard-coded paths  
in the ssl system properties?
