<object type="HttpConnectionPool" name="httpConnection">
    <dp:paraMap name="sslSettings">
        <value name="javax.net.ssl.trustStore" value="truststore.jks"/>

        <value name="javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword" value="secret"/>
        <value name="javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType" value="jks"/>
    </dp:paraMap>
    <dp:paraVal name="poolSize" value="10"/>
</object>
