How to configure SSL properties on each WS client

I have an application that contains multiple stateless session EJBs that act
as web service clients to various web services. For each of these, I may
want to make the call using SSL where I would like to set the specific
properties (e.g. Client Authentication Enabled, Private Key file, Client
Certifiicate file etc.) for each client.

Looking at the doc, it suggests creating a property file with properties
like com.ibm.ssl.protocol, com.ibm.ssl.keyStoreType etc and set the
com.ibm.webservices.sslConfigURL Java system property to the absolute path
of the created property file. But setting a system property will set it
globally. How can I set this for each invocation of a web service?

Thanks for any info.
