How can I access java trust store certs

Question

My server program uses the trust store for client certs which works fine for the two way handshake, however I would like to be able to get the certs from the trust store for other things. I noticed this example for Key stores. How do I do about it for trust stores?

I setup the trust store in following way for my SSL two way handshake, but I want to use the certs for something else.

System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "store.jts");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "PASS);

Both trust stores and key store are KeyStore objects. Just the usage is different. So, the example that you found should work for either a key store or a trust store, since they are objects of the same type.

I am talking about server code here, are you sure that's right? – Andrew Jan 24 '13 at 15:11
My question didn't explicitly say this so sorry about that. – Andrew Jan 24 '13 at 15:58
No, I was talking about client-side usage - I'm guessing that concepts of 'keystore' and 'truststore' are reversed on the server. But even on the server, both the keystore and the truststore will be instances of KeyStore. – GreyBeardedGeek Jan 25 '13 at 03:31
