Re: [iaik-jce] GeneralSecurityException()

["Andreas Sterbenz" <Andreas.Sterbenz@iaik.tu-graz.ac.at>]

Please be sure to include jdk11x_update.jar in your CLASSPATH.

Even so, because of the class hierarchy in JDK 1.1 you cannot catch those
exceptions with a GeneralSecurityException. You will have to catch
NoSuchAlgorithmException, NoSuchProviderException, etc. separately unless
you upgrade to JDK 1.2.
