KeystoreManager API incomplete?

I've been taking a look at Jira GERONIMO-2002, which discusses using the 
Geronimo KeystoreManager API to create the SSL sockets.  The 
KeystoreManager API implements a createSSLFactory() method (which really 
should be createSSLServerFactory()) to create an SSLServerSocketFactory 
instance.  The CORBA code, however, will require both 
SSLServerSocketFactory and SSLSocketFactory instances to implement the 
server and client ends of the secure connection.  Is there some reason 
why this was only implemented for the server end other than "that was 
the only piece needed at the time"?

I'd like to rename the existing method and create a new method that 
creates a client-side socket factory as well.
