Change CryptoFactory.getInstance to support java.util.Map
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: WSS-45
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-45
Project: WSS4J
Type: Wish
Reporter: Fred Dushin
Assigned to: Davanum Srinivas
The CryptoFactory type supports dynamic loading of Crypto instances through the
getInstance operation (it would be more appropriate to call this
"createInstance", but that's a separate issue). The relevant operation
signature is
getInstance(java.lang.String, java.util.Properties)
For implementors who would like to supply their own Crypto implementations,
however, a Properties object may not be sufficient, since a Properties maps
strings to strings. It would be more general, and helpful, to define this
operation to take a java.util.Map (which java.util.Properties implements), so
that pre-allocated/constructed objects can be passed through this interface.
This should be a binary-compatible change (assuming the Merlin implementation
is changed to downcast to a Properties object)
I would be happy to supply a patch.
