Hi All,

I'm getting a really odd error when I try to init a ciphers (or any
other artifact for that matter) using BC as the provider in tomcat 5.5.7
(struts application).

The call is simply

final Cipher rsaCipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding",
"BC");

and I get the following:

java.lang.ThreadDeath
    at
org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass (WebappClassLoader.java:1221)
    at
org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass (WebappClassLoader.java:1181)
    at java.security.Provider
$Service.getImplClass(Provider.java:1116)
    at java.security.Provider
$Service.newInstance(Provider.java:1074)
    at javax.crypto.Cipher.getInstance(DashoA12275)
    at javax.crypto.Cipher.getInstance(DashoA12275)

The bouncy castle libraries are included in the classpath, and are being
initialized correctly in the servlet init with the call:

Security.addProvider( new BouncyCastleProvider());

JVM Details:
java version "1.5.0-rc"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-rc-b63)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-rc-b63, mixed mode)

uname -r:
2.6.8-gentoo-r10

Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers
Adam
