Colm -

No, I don't have any better suggestions. In fact, subclassing Merlin and adding 
a method to configure additional PKIX parameters is exactly what I did.

Thanx,

Hi Stephen,

There is no way to add CertPathCheckers at the moment, beyond subclassing 
Merlin and overriding the "verifyTrust" method. I could add a method to 
customize the PKIXParameters object though, that could be overridden by a 
subclass though which would be better. Or do you have any other suggestions?

Colm.
