javax.crypto.Mac

[rstaveley]

If I try to get an instance of a javax.crypto.Mac, usingjavax.crypto.Mac mac = javax.crypto.Mac.getInstance("HmacSHA1");, I get a NoClassDefFoundError.

I've looked at the JRE (Sun 1.5.0.10), and see jce.jar in the lib directory and sure enough javax.crypto.Mac.class is in that jar, so I wonder why it isn't loading in JBoss and how to make it do so.

I'm getting this LinkageError with 4.2.2GA with default settings on Debian Linux. When you install JBoss via apt-get on Debian Linux, this is the default version.

It doesn't happen on a 4.0.2 installation, which I have access to on a Sun server.

Here's a simple JSP to reproduce the problem.

try {
javax.crypto.Mac mac = javax.crypto.Mac.getInstance("HmacSHA1");
if (mac == null) {
out.print("No Mac found for HmacSHA1");
}
else {
java.security.Provider provider = mac.getProvider();
out.print("Mac instance: "+mac.getClass().getName()+"\r\n");
out.print("Provider: "+provider.getClass().getName()+" - "+provider.getInfo()+"\r\n");
out.print("Algorithm: "+mac.getAlgorithm()+"\r\n");
}
}
catch (Exception e) {
out.print("Exception thrown, while inspecting crypto for HmacSHA1\n"+e.getMessage()+"\r\n");
}
catch (LinkageError le) {
out.print("Linkage error in javax.crypto.Mac\r\n"+le.getMessage()+"\r\n");
}

Please post the entire exception stacktrace.

jaikiran, I just look a look at http://jaitechwriteups.blogspot.com/ and followed your advice about setting up jboss-web.xml and have fixed my problem as a consequence. [And sorted out logging properly in the process.]

Many thanks!

Great! :)
