To hijack my own thread-- how is performance of GeoServer on OpenJDK these days?

Best,
Steve

Some additional infos:

If you are running openjdk there is no need for downloading policy files. Open 
source is not restricted by the US government.

If you are running an IBM java, you have to download the files from the IBM 
download page. The policy files are not portable between different sdk 
providers.

Referencing [1], there appears to be no written answer for how to patch 
geoserver with strong cryptography in the Java container, so I thought I'd 
write it up very briefly here.  Without this, GeoServer throws a warning that

"No strong cryptography available, Installation of the unrestricted policy jar 
files is recommended."

Download of the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) is what fixes this.  Goto:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

Scroll to the bottom and choose the appropriate download for your JVM, either

Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 7
or
Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 6

and follow the instructions to replace the local_policy.jar and 
US_export_policy.jar.  GeoServer will report:

"Strong cryptography available"

Best,
Steve
