Re: AW: Using hardware provider for signing

config.xml is now independent of any provider configurations.
The JCE provider search mechanism should find the appropriate provider for you given an algorithm.

Hallo Vishal,

I'm not sure if i fully understood the new concept.
When i want to use a hardware provider i still need to configure it in
config.xml, right?
Where is the difference in how to integrate a hardware provider?

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?

    
Yes it is.

Thanks in advance,
Jan
