Catalina does not distribute the JSSE (from the catalina/build.xml):
<target name="copy-jsse.jar" if="copy.jsse.jar">
<!-- Cannot redistribute JSSE
<copy todir="${catalina.build}/common/lib" file="${jcert.jar}"/>
<copy todir="${catalina.build}/common/lib" file="${jnet.jar}"/>
<copy todir="${catalina.build}/common/lib" file="${jsse.jar}"/>
-->
</target>
I would like to know why they don't redistribute it.
I think (ii) is funny because from what I'm hearing is that Jboss has
modified it and is distributing it because there is a serious classloader
problem in it.
(iv) definitely doesn't make me feel real comfortable.
