Hi Regis,
You mean init these providers is slow, right? But actually we should
not init unnecessary providers.
I added some info in our code as following and you can see init these
provider takes most of the time:
<code>
...
long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
p = (Provider) Class.forName(providerClassName.trim(), true, cl).newInstance();
System.out.println("init " + p.getName() + "takes " +
(System.currentTimeMillis()-start) + " ms");
providers.add(p);
providersNames.put(p.getName(), p);
long start2 = System.currentTimeMillis();
initServiceInfo(p);
System.out.println("init services of " + p.getName() + "takes " +
(System.currentTimeMillis() - start2) + " ms" );
...
</code>
And the output is:
init DRLCertFactorytakes 226 ms
init services of DRLCertFactorytakes 6 ms
init Cryptotakes 1 ms
init services of Cryptotakes 1 ms
init HarmonyJSSEtakes 0 ms
init services of HarmonyJSSEtakes 1 ms
init BCtakes 204 ms
init services of BCtakes 11 ms
