> Tomcat ignores any of the SSL configuration system properties.

But this statement is not true. Tomcat already consults the 
"javax.net.ssl.trustStore" and "javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword" properties, 
only it was ignoring the third one, "javax.net.ssl.trustStoreType". I am not 
asking for a new feature here, this bug is about the inconsistent 
implementation of an existing feature. Look at the 
JSSESocketFactory.getTrustStore() method to see what's going on.

Well this patch completes the addressing of all of them. Only 2 out of 3 trust 
store related properties are being taken into account at the moment, and this 
patch adds support for the 3rd one. Either this inconsistency should be fixed, 
or else remove support for ALL trust store properties. The current situation is 
inconsistent and leads to maddening configuration issues (i.e. any reasonable 
person would assume that since 2 trust store properties appear supported the 
third one would be also, and then scratch their head when a non-descriptive 
JSSE exception hits them).

While I agree with your reasoning about container environments, I disagree with 
the WONTFIX assessment. Currently you have partial support for an arbitrary 
subset of trust store properties, which is the worst of both worlds.  Either 
support all of them or none of them.
