Class InitJCE

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.james.security.InitJCE

public class InitJCE
extends java.lang.Object

Security Providers initialization class. The first call of the init method will have the class loader do the job. This technique ensures proper initialization without the need of maintaining the ${java_home}/lib/security/java.security file, that would otherwise need the addition of the following line: security.provider.n=org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider. The call also registers to the javamail's MailcapCommandMap the content handlers that are needed to work with s/mime mails.
