substitute security providers

Hi,

I am currently trying to establish if I can specify
my own security provider to be used by Tomcat 4.0.1
instead of the one packaged.  I'm led to believe it
may be possible (or may in the future be allowed) by
the server.xml file.  When you set up and SSL Connector,
you have to specify the Factory classname as pointing
to the tomcat SSLServerSocketFactory ie.


<Connector className="org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector"
           port="8443" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
           enableLookups="true"
           acceptCount="10" debug="0" scheme="https" secure="true">
    <Factory className="org.apache.catalina.net.SSLServerSocketFactory"
             clientAuth="false" protocol="TLS"/>
</Connector>


That being the case, should I then be able to substitute
implementations by instead doing the following :-


    <Factory className="com.dstc.security.ssl.SSLServerSocketFactory"
             clientAuth="false" protocol="TLS"/>


Thanks for your help in advance.
