EVALUATION The reason of the bug was the fact we were trying to use certificates/signers without reading the resource entry fully. It worked for cache-enabled case as everything was read when loading from/saving to cache. Part of the change caused this problem is not needed anymore and can be removed. We should also use WrapResource that will not read bytes more than once. Therefore it safe to "read" them each time if someone asks for signers/certificates without any performance impact.

WORK AROUND Use any of the following three combinations in JConsole: "Keep Temp Files" off / "Next-gen Plugin" off "Keep Temp Files" on / "Next-gen Plugin" on "Keep Temp Files" on / "Next=gen Plugin" off
