SOLVED (Re: tomcat3.2b and JCE (j2sdk1.4) : encryption/decryption won't work)

[Michael Niemaz <ni...@xrce.xerox.com>]

Got it yaaaaaaaaaahooooooooooo ;-)
Finally.

The problem was that somehow java is looking for those so famous 
security files in $JAVA_HOME/lib/security.
If, like stupid me, you have set $JAVA_HOME to (for ex) 
/opt/java/j2sdk1.4.1/ instead of /opt/java/j2sdk1.4.1/jre/,
it won't work. THere's no security directory in 
/opt/java/j2sdk1.4.1/lib/ but there is one in /opt/java/j2sdk1.4.1/jre/lib/

Now, how come this is happening? I thought there was a bit of 
intelligence somewhere in java ? Can't he realize
that he is not running through jre?
Or is there a way to tell him that the security files are in such place 
whereas still running the /opt/java/j2sdk1.4.1/bin/java?

If you can help ...

thanx,

--mike
