Larry McCay commented on KNOX-422:
----------------------------------
While the sun classes are in danger of being blocked, I'm not convinced that
there is enough justification to pull in a whole new java crypto library in
support of this convenience aspect of the initial startup. I've actually come
to feel that we should remove the auto generation of the certificate from the
start up and make it a provisioning step external from the gateway runtime.
That said, not being able to run or build Knox against/on the IBM JDK is
something that needs to be addressed. My proposal is that in the near term we
refactor the existing code to be done with reflection when the sun classes are
available and when they aren't that we halt the server start and indicate that
the SSL provisioning must be done or SSL must be disabled. This will provide
the opportunity for IBM environments to use KeyMan or whatever their favorite
keystore tooling is.
[~poliva] would you be interested in providing a patch that converts the
existing generation logic to reflection in order to allow Knox to run on the
IBM JVM?
