Subject: Providers for JSSE?
It would appear that you don't anticipate having any JSSE providers other =
than yourselves. The documentation didn't give me any clues as to how to =
install any other providers, so I disassembled javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFacto=
ry and found that SSLSocketFactory.getDefault is not designed to return =
anything other than your own factory or DefaultSSLSocketFactory. I also =
noticed that javax.net.ssl is packaged in the same jar as com.sun.net.ssl.i=
nternal.ssl. Therefore, if I want to use JSSE in an applet with my own =
secure socket implementation, I either need to repackage your jar file, or =
download two implementations.=20
Is there a standard way for an SSL provider to install into the JSSE =
framework or does an application simply need to be configured to construct =
a particular implementation of SSLSocketFactory? Can I repackage jsse.jar?
