PKCS5Scheme1Test?

I don't know how we map the compatible input cipher to output cipher.
Do we have any such chart or property table which says encrypt cipher "PBEWithSHA1AndDES" works with decrypt cipher "DES/CBC/PKCS5Padding"?
Because we can't map randomly any algorithm/mode/padding from encrypt to decrypt cipher.

Code:

        // encryption step using regular PBE
        Cipher           cipher = Cipher.getInstance("PBEWithSHA1AndDES","BC");


        // decryption step - using the local implementation
        cipher = Cipher.getInstance("DES/CBC/PKCS5Padding");

The Sun, or rather Oracle, provided documentation for the JCE defines a set of standard names for algorithms and what they are defined from. Outside of the standard definitions you need to examine the documentation provided with the JCE provider as they may vary. The common PBE schemes are derived from PKCS#5 and PKCS#12.
