Where are you putting the jar
In the jboss-net.sar along with other Web Service Security support libraries.
and how is the BouncyCastle provider being installed?
In a static initializer the following code is called:
java.security.Security.addProvider(new org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider());
This code doesn't throw any exception, so the jar containing the provider is found just fine.
but later when an attempt is made to access a cypher (RSA) that is supplied by BC using the code:
cipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA");
yields an exception saying something about no provicer for that cipher, however calling
cipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA", "BC");
basically forcing the use of the Bouncy castle provider, yields the previously mentioned SecurityException.
Should I be adding the provider in a different way, or perhaps from a different place?

I am trying to add the BouncyCastle Security Provider at runtime. The
call to java.security.Security.addProvider() seems to succeed, but later
attempts to use the provider cause a SecurityException with the message
"The provider BC may not be signed by a trusted party". This jar works
fine from command line apps, and if it is installed in the jre (jar
added to the lib/ext dir and an entry made into the java.security file),
so there is no problem in the signed jar.
Is this maybe a classloader problem where java.security can't find the cacerts file to verify the jar? What else could be causing the problem?
