Jce framework problem

Question

          Hi all!
          I've got the following problem:
          I accomplished to form an ear file that contains an ejb jar and a war file. The
          ejb jar manifest includes several jars that are part of the ear file. Additionally
          the web app needs the following jars: local_policy.jar, jce1_2_1.jar, US_export_policy.jar
          When I put these files into the WEB-INF/lib of the webapp or into Manifest's Class-Path
          of the ejb.jar I always get the same behaviour:
          I can deploy it (yipieeh) but when I run the web app I get the following exception
          (uieehh):
          java.lang.SecurityException: Cannot authenticate JCE framework java.lang.SecurityException:
          The JCE framework has unsigned class files. at com.sun.crypto.provider.SunJCE.a([DashoPro-V1.2-120198])
          at com.sun.crypto.provider.SunJCE.c([DashoPro-V1.2-120198]) at com.sun.crypto.provider.PBEKeyFactory.<init>([DashoPro-V1.2-120198])
          at java.lang.Class.newInstance0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Class.java:237)
          at javax.crypto.Support.getImplementation(Support.java:77) at javax.crypto.Support.getImplementation(Support.java:32)
          at javax.crypto.SecretKeyFactory.getInstance(SecretKeyFactory.java:42)
          Surprisingly it works when I put the jar files into wls6.1SP2's lib directory
          respectively to wls's classpath! But what I need is one ear file that contains
          everything ...
          Please if you know this problem, a workaround or you have only a guess reply to
          this message.
          Thanks for every serious response, Chris.

These files need to be stored in the runtime environment. So the path should be
JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security
And the you'll have to restart all processes that where reading these files. i.e. application servers etc.
