Ok, that works for relatively basic options, but what about the more complex stuff I need to do? Specifically turning off weak ciphers on the connection (via socket.setEnabledCipherSuites), and verifying the server's DN. Also, I need to use different settings for setting up the keystore and truststore (e.g. if one is in pkcs12 format and the other is in jks format). Someone else on the user's mailing list asked a similar question about customizing the ssl keystore.
If I add a SocketFactory param in the createTransport calls, it requires lots of changes to support it across all the different composite transports and such. Is there perhaps something similar to the options that can have objects associated with a key for params to the transports that will get passed along to all the sub transports so the SSL one will get it?

Some of the more experienced people can correct me on this, but I think you can set socket options using "socket._option_" arguments in the URI (e.g. "ssl://localhost:61616?socket.my_option=true"). I'm not sure if this would give all the flexibility you need, but it's a start. If that doesn't work, for SSL specific stuff, I added a SslActiveMQConnectionFactory (or a similar name). Any good?
