Subject: quick question on DES in jce

hey -

is it possible to implement the DES encryption algorithm
with padding? some example code provided in the jce
documentation is throwing a NoSuchAlgorithmException
not being able to find DES. it follows:

Cipher des = Cipher.getInstance("DES/EBC/PKCS#5");

does the installed Sun provider implement this algorithm,
and if not, how do i use the DES algorithm provided
in the same package with padding?

a response would be very much appreciated. thanks
in advance.
