Subject: KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("RSA") -- NoSuchAlgorithmException

I am using JCE with JDK 1.1.3 under Solaris 2.5 and get
NoSuchAlgorithmException when I attempt to create an instance of a
KeyPairGenerator for RSA (DSA seems to work fine).

jce.zip is the very first library in my CLASSPATH, and I do *not*
explicitly include JDK classes in CLASSPATH.

Is RSA implemented in the current version of JCE? How do I get around
this problem?

Thanks in advance.
