I am using WSS4J to create a soap request signer with a certificate from the keystore. My keystore format is .pkcs and everything works with the first signing, but if I try to run the program to sign more than one document and it doesn't find the certificate in the keystore. It seems to me that the certificate is possibly consumed during signing, which means that it no longer exists for the current environment. If the program stops and starts again it will sign the first request but the second request fails. I have stepped through multiple times and cannot figure out what the cause is. This code is the last thing being called before the certificate disappears from the keystore this.certUri = getWsConfig().getIdAllocator().createSecureId("X509-", certs[0]); this is found on line 556 in WSSecSignature.class. Here is my code.

Also, I would like to turn the doDebug mode on in the WSSecBase.class but it won't showup in the variable viewer to toggle the value. I created a breakpoint in the constructor and set it to be watched but it never shows up to toggle.
Your testcase works fine for me with a .p12 from WSS4J test source on the latest WSS4J SNAPSHOT code. Are you using an older version of WSS4J? If so please try with the latest releases + see if it works. If not, then please create a test-case with your .p12 file + create a new issue in the WSS4J JIRA:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS
