JDK15: Cipher.getInstance throws UnsupportedOperationException

[Niels Cölle]

Hello,

are there any known restrictions in the JCE implementation of  
jdk-1.5.0p2_1?

If I use the native jdk15 I get the Exception below. On other platforms my  
code works:
	- FreeBSD linux-jdk15
  	- Windows XP jdk1.5.0_05
	- RedHat EE 3.x jdk1.5.0_05
	- Solaris 8 jdk1.5.0_05
	- Solaris 9 jdk1.5.0_05

I checked jce.jar with jarsigner -verify : OK.
I installed the jce_policy files for 1.5.0 : failed.
I replaced the jce.jar and the security directory with files from one of  
the working platforms : failed (of course?)

Maybe I am searching in the wrong direction, but if I formerly got these  
"java.lang.SecurityException: Cannot set up certs for trusted CAs" errors,  
there was something wrong with the certificates/signatures/policy in  
jre/lib jre/lib/security.
Has anybody new ideas?

Thanks in advance
Niels
