[Cryptix-users] java.lang.ClassCastException: cryptix.openpgp.provider.PGPLiteralMessageImpl

[ikiliklip i. <iki...@ya...>]

Hi everyvody!

I'm trying to read the content of bob-public.pgp.asc file. Well, the code where the error is thrown is that:

in = new FileInputStream("bob-public.pgp.asc");
 msgs = mf.generateMessages(in);
kbm = (KeyBundleMessage) msgs.iterator().next();
publicBundle = (PGPKeyBundle) kbm.getKeyBundle();
in.close();


When the content of this file is a key generated by crytix, it works. But when I put in the file a simple string "This is my public key" as a key, the error I get is:

java.lang.ClassCastException: cryptix.openpgp.provider.PGPLiteralMessageImpl

Do you know why? If I convert the string to base64, i get the same error. I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what it is!! Help me, please!!! I would appreciate any hint!

Thanks, 

Regards

PGPLiteralMessageImpl is not a subclass of KeyBundleMessage, so casting
to it must lead to this exception. You should cast to Message and check
for the type of the class before doing a more concrete cast.

"This is my public key" is not a PGP key, obviously. I don't know how
much you know about encryption but it sounds like you're confusing the
actual key with the passphrase.

Anyway, as the "latest" Cryptix release is more than two years old,
you're probably riding a dead horse. We switched to BC quite a while
ago (http://www.bouncycastle.org/) and never looked back. It's got way
better documentation/examples and is actively developed.

Does BC have the PGP capability?
