JDK-5056438 - Cipher.init throws exception if Cipher is generated using RC4 as algorithm
Description

Name: ipR10067			Date: 06/02/2004




The description of the Cipher.init(int opmode, java.security.Key key)
and Cipher.init(int opmode, java.security.Key key, java.security.SecureRandom 
random)
methods does not describe any exception, but java.security.InvalidKeyException.

However the implementation throws NullPointerException 
when the parameter "key" is null.

EVALUATION probably too late to fix in tiger, defering this to 1.5.1. ###@###.### 2004-06-03 The fix for bug 5056438 will also fix this, i.e. the modified impl will throw InvalidKeyException instead of NPE just as javadoc specified. Thus, will add this bug id to the fix for 5056438. ###@###.### 2005-1-11 19:24:41 GMT It's probably less confusing to have one fix associated with one bug id. Since the fix is already delivered under bug 5056438, will close this as duplicate instead. ###@###.### 2005-05-26 01:29:28 GMT
