In general, I am biased against introducing dependencies on com.sun packages for the very reason stated. The code will work only with the Sun JDK or JVMs incorporating sublicensed parts of the JDK that include those packages. For that matter, it will work only with a particular version of the Sun JVM should the classes not appear in a future release. If JSSE will work and is usable with JDK 1.3 as an add-on jar, I don't see any reason why it should be avoided (i.e., I'm +1 for option 3 and -1 for 2). daniel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
