Hi, Sean,

I updated the webrev in place - now this change contains only javadoc update of DSAKeyPairGenerator interface.
CSR has also been updated accordingly. Could you please take a look?

Sure.

  35  * DSAKeyPairGenerator, each provider must supply (and document) a
  36  * default initialization.

I suggest saying "should" instead of "must" since we can't really require this to be documented, esp. for a 3rd-party provider. Also I would say "each provider that implements this interface ...".

52 * DSAKeyPairGenerator, then call one of the {@code initialize} methods

Slight rewording suggestion: "DSAKeyPairGenerator and calling one of the {@code initialize} methods"

 103      * thrown. It is guaranteed that there will always be
104 * default parameters for modulus lengths of 512, 1024, and 2048 bits.

I guess "guaranteed" is referring to any impl of DSAKeyPairGenerator, but it is kind of hard to enforce that if you are using a 3rd-party provider. I think we should consider just removing this sentence entirely and leaving the requirements up to the implementation. It's also unusual that we would require 512-bits, and hard-coding that might make it hard to remove later on. Minimally, I think we should remove 512.

Sean,

Could you help review this RFE below? It's mainly the javadoc update of java.security.interfaces.DSAKeyPairGenerator which replaces the 1024-bit default value with provider-specific one and removal of the earlier changes for working around this javadoc limitation. I reused the wordings from existing security classes.

RFE: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8182484
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~valeriep/8182484/webrev.00/
CSR: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8190569

Thanks,
