Cipher not initialized for encryption/decryption

Hi All,
 
We use WSS4J for encrypting/decrypting messages that are sent via axis to our webservice consumers. With some modifications to WSS4J, we could get the encryption/decryption work with Java 1.4.2. To be precise, one of our developers, overwrote the WSEncryptBody class and modified the "cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, remoteCert);" in build() api to "cipher.init(Cipher.WRAP_MODE, remoteCert);". 
 
Now, we are in a process to move to Java 5 and are experiencing a problem where WSS4J reports the subject error. We included the new 1.5 jars for WSS4J. The exception thrown is:
 
INFO   | jvm 1    | 2007/03/07 11:06:10 | Caused by: org.apache.ws.security.WSSecurityException: Cannot encrypt/decrypt data; nested exception is: 
INFO   | jvm 1    | 2007/03/07 11:06:10 |  java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cipher not initialized for encryption/decryption
INFO   | jvm 1    | 2007/03/07 11:06:10 |  at com.mycompany.security.xml.WSEncryptBody.build(WSEncryptBody.java:370)
 
Has anybody experienced this exception? Appreciate any help.
 
Thanks,
Abbas
