Using hardware provider for signing

["Liße, Jan (ext. Dienstleister)" <Ja...@KVB.de>]

Hallo,

i have the requirement to sign data with a hardware provider (smart card).
According to posts on this mailing-list the recommended way to integrate
a hardware provider into xml-sec is by writing a SignatureAlgorithmSPI-Impl.
and configuring this in config.xml. But this approach lacks some
flexibility.
In my setup i want to be able to switch between a software and a hardware
provider for signing with rsa-sha1. 
In a posting from 2004 i read about a patch by Vishal Mahajan that
eliminates the
need for configuring providers in config.xml. Is this patch already
integrated in
the current official release? 

Thanks in advance,
Jan
