I'm using j2se1.4-b3, though I don't believe that's the problem. When I
get an org.mozilla.jss.CryptoManager instance and then try to get a
java.security.cert.CertificateFactory, I get the following:
/************************************************************/

However, when I reverse the order of the creation, I don't seem to have
a conflict. I have not tested to verify that all the functionality of
these successfully created classes is available. I have only
established that no exceptions are thrown when they are created. The
code below demonstrates the situation. Running CertFactoryTest with no
arguments creates the CertificateFactory before the CryptoManager. By
giving an argument on the commandline the call order is reversed.
The obvious question is: What is going on here?
/* CertFactoryTest.java */
public class CertFactoryTest {
public CertFactoryTest() {
} // constructor
public void initCertFactory() {
try {
java.security.cert.CertificateFactory cf
= java.security.cert.CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} // catch
} // initCertFactory
public void initCryptoMan() {
org.mozilla.jss.CryptoManager.InitializationValues vals
= new org.mozilla.jss.CryptoManager.InitializationValues("ns-keys");
try {
org.mozilla.jss.CryptoManager.initialize(vals);
org.mozilla.jss.CryptoManager cryptoMan
= org.mozilla.jss.CryptoManager.getInstance();
} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} // catch
} // initCryptoMan
public static void main(String[] args) {
CertFactoryTest cft = new CertFactoryTest();
if (args.length == 0 ) {
cft.initCertFactory();
cft.initCryptoMan();
} else {
cft.initCryptoMan();
cft.initCertFactory();
} // else
} // main
} // certFactoryTest
