security provider problem with tomcat

[Lukas Sägesser <ls...@paysol.ch>]

hi there!

i'm trying to make cryptix security work with tomcat.

the installation guide says to register the security provider with the jre
1.3 (which i did).
the installation was successful and added the following lines to
java.security

# Added by Cryptix V3 installation program:
security.provider.3=cryptix.provider.Cryptix

now, when i run a example batch (without tomcat), it works perfectly. but
when i call the same method (the one that uses the encryption) from a jsp
file, i get a error on the tomcat saying:

NoSuchProviderException: Provider Cryptix not available

whats the problem here ? i already made sure that i start the tomcat with
the same java.exe i used to register the security provider.
first i had the cryptix.jar in the web-inf/lib of my webapplication... then
i thought apparenty tomcat is missing the jar and put it to tomcat/lib
(restarted tomcat) but it didnt help.
so either way, the cryptix library _is_ in the classpath, so what am i
missing ?

thanks in advance!
greetings, lukas
