I could not get the SSL server in chapter 10 to start. I get the following Exception. I am runing Java 1.4.2_07

java.net.SocketException: Export restriction: this JSSE implementation is non-pluggable.
    at javax.net.ssl.DefaultSSLServerSocketFactory.create ServerSocket(DashoA12275)
    at chapter10.SSLServerExample.main(SSLServerExample.j ava:49)
Exception in thread "main"

Bouncycastle is installed, I have the unrestricted policy files installed and the Bouncycastle provider installed. These all pass their tests in chapter 1.

I'd only expect to see this if you were trying to replace the default Sun SSL socket factory. The example definitely doesn't do that. It might also happen if you've over written the version of the JSSE that ships with 1.4 with one of the JSSE 1.0.? versions.

There's quite a lengthy discussion on this at:

http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp...137&tstart=210

But other than over writing the JSSE implementation, none of the scenarios really apply to executing the example.

Do any of the above apply in your case?

I installed a new copy of the JDK 1.4.2_10, and started again. This time it worked a treat.

Could be I broke the JDK a while ago while I was unsuccessful experimenting with JSSE. Then I bought the book.

Thanks for the follow up.

It's more than likely others will have the same problem, so you have probably saved a lot of people a lot of work.

Hope the book is of equal value.

David
