Description

The loadStore method in the SslConfigurationFactory class only deals with
the case when the Keystore file actually exists at runtime.
I am using the Apache FTP Server 1.0.3 on Windows XP to run an embedded server that does not have an existing Keystore file at runtime. Rather, it generates a temporary Keystore file using the Keystore load method with a null argument as InputStream.
Since I could not override just the loadStore method that is declared "private", I had to copy the entire createSslConfiguration method in order to call my own loadStore.

Why not make the loadStore protected to allow for it to be overriden?

Thanks!
