Re: code breakage - James environment question

[Jason Proctor]

hi stefano,

thanks for the quality info.
What release of James are you using?

2.2.0

And what is the problem? An exception? A different behaviour? What?

i'm protecting a session (blowfish) key with PKCS (RSA). the key 
generation and encryption happen without incident, but at the other 
end, the blowfish key does not successfully decrypt. in parallel runs 
of a working client and the mailet, i confirmed that the RSA public 
key used by both clients are identical, and that the algorithms used 
for the blowfish stuff are identical. i explicitly install the 
security provider in position zero at mailet init() time, but i'm 
starting to think that james is overriding my choice of security 
provider. consequently the stream formats between the providers are 
not compatible and i end up with a padding error on unstream time.

i have a workaround in the form of a mini-SMTP server i wrote which 
just calls us, but if possible i'd like to nail this problem down.

any help appreciated.

thanks,
jason
