Fred Dushin updated WSS-45:
---------------------------

    Attachment: wss4j-45.patch

This patch is against the latest trunk, and is a slightly less aggressive patch -- it only results in the addition of a new createCrypto on the CryptoFactory class, which takes a Map, and an CryptoBase abstract type, which can be used with this new operation (as well as the others).  All the Merlin stuff is left untouched.

> The CryptoFactory type supports dynamic loading of Crypto instances through the getInstance operation (it would be more appropriate to call this "createInstance", but that's a separate issue).  The relevant operation signature is
> getInstance(java.lang.String, java.util.Properties)
> For implementors who would like to supply their own Crypto implementations, however, a Properties object may not be sufficient, since a Properties maps strings to strings.  It would be more general, and helpful, to define this operation to take a java.util.Map (which java.util.Properties implements), so that pre-allocated/constructed objects can be passed through this interface.
> This should be a binary-compatible change (assuming the Merlin implementation is changed to downcast to a Properties object)
> I would be happy to supply a patch.
