The methods must be getInstance and getEncoded.

Code snippet:

You're as literal-minded as I am. :-) (BTW, I also found base64
encode/decode methods in javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.)

The cluebat fairy visited me, and I realized that it will be far more
efficient to simply "register" my CA certificate by name before
connecting to the database.

final class JdbcSSLSocketFactory extends SSLSocketFactory
{
    private final static Map<String,X509Certificate> caCerts = new
HashMap<>();

    public static void registerCA(String caName, X509Certificate caCert)
    {
    if (caName == null || caCert == null) {
        throw new IllegalArgumentException(String.format(
            "null value not allowed for %s",
            caName == null ? "caName" : "caCert"));
    caCerts.put(caName, caCert);
    }

    public JdbcSSLSocketFactory(String caName)
    {
    try {
        X509Certificate caCert = caCerts.get(caName);
        if (caCert == null) {
        throw new IllegalStateException(String.format(
            "No certificate authority named '%s' has been registered",
            caName));
        }

            ...

Thanks!
