RE: [Cryptix-users] getEncoded() fails with RSA Keys

[Robert E. <re...@ix...>]

Is there someway to ask the KeyFactory to return keys using the Impl class
rather than the Cryptix class? If not, how/when is the Impl class ever used?

The API specification was changed by Sun after our original code was
written (in the JDK 1.1 era).

Given that noone has complained about this before and that this behaviour
has been in the code for several years now, I'm not really inclined to
change it. On top of that, IMHO there are more important areas that need
work and I have limited time to spend.

I would however probably accept a patch, provided that the behaviour can be
modified with some kind of system property.
