>                 Key: WSS-82
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-82
>             Project: WSS4J
>          Issue Type: Bug
>            Reporter: George Stanchev

> Currently WSS4J loads the BouncyCastle JCE (see WSSConfig.java). However, it 
> uses the JCE Security class to then register the JCE in the 
> java.security.Security registry. The problem is, that it uses the context 
> classloader which might or might not be available for other parties. The JCE 
> providers loaded via java.security.Secruity must be installed in the system 
> classloader since it loads the JCE.
> JCE 1.4 and onwards provides a way to use an instance of a JCE provider 
> supplied by the caller instead of the classes requesting one from the 
> Security registry.
> For example to get a cypher, one can write
> Class clazz = myClassloader.loadClass("my.custom.JCEProvider");
> java.security.Provider myprov = (java.security.Provider) clazz.getInstance();
> javax.crypto.Cypher =  javax.crypto.Cypher.getInstance(myTransofrmation, 
> myprov);
> instead of
> javax.crypto.Cypher =  javax.crypto.Cypher.getInstance(myTransofrmation);
> or
> javax.crypto.Cypher =  javax.crypto.Cypher.getInstance(myTransofrmation, 
> "myprov");
> This way WSS4J will stay trully independent of any system-provider JCE 
> providers.
> Same needs to be done for XML-Security library
