Spring WebServices provides the convenient KeyStoreFactoryBean, KeyManagersFactoryBean and TrustManagersFactoryBean which makes configuring things like a KeyStore and related objects easier.
As a lot of sites are now using SSL and other components require sometimes a KeyStore. It would be nice if we could use these FactoryBean implementations to configure such and without requiring to have Spring WS on the classpath.
Affects: 4.3.17, 5.0.6

I'm afraid we don't have any such plans at the core framework level in the near future, in particular not in the form of FactoryBean variants. That said, I'm happy to consider use cases and limitations there, in particular in terms of reuse within other Spring portfolio projects.
