Tomcat and JCE, more than friends?

[Israel Olalla <is...@newknow.com>]

Hi!

We're trying to use the encryption facilities included in the Sun JCE
extension. Everything
works fine when we try our application using the JDK1.3.1 alone. But
when we try it with
Tomcat, we get the next exception:

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: java.lang.SecurityException: Cannot
set up certs for trusted CAs
        at javax.crypto.b.<clinit>([DashoPro-V1.2-120198])
        at javax.crypto.Cipher.getInstance([DashPro-V1.2-120198])
           .......

We had the same problem using Resin 2.0.2, and we solved it out invoking
Resin without using the
startup script, and setting manually the classpath at the command line
in order to include the
sunjce_provider.jar and the jce1_2_1.jar. This trick does not work (we
keep on trying) with Tomcat.

Any suggestions?

Try putting the JCE jar files in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/.
