2.To view the trusted certificate list, go to JRE's security folder (jre1.6.0_06\lib\security) and issue following command: keytool -list -keystore cacerts
3.To add a certificate in this list: keytool -import -alias mycert -keystore cacerts -file d:\mycert.cer.

One can setup both keystore and truststore via JVM arguments. This should help to accomplish two-way SSL.
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/config/keystore.jks
