Orchid policy error

[zzz]

From ​http://zzz.i2p/topics/1564

ugly Java errors from Orchid 1.0.0-0.3-b44. Here's my environment:

I2P version: 0.9.11-0
Java version: Oracle Corporation 1.7.0_51 (Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0_51-b13)
Wrapper version: 3.5.22
Server version: 7.6.14.v20131031
Servlet version: Jasper JSP 2.1 Engine
Platform: Windows 7 x86 6.1
Processor: uninitialized (core2)
Jbigi: Locally optimized native BigInteger library loaded from file
Encoding: Cp1252
Charset: windows-1252

and here's what I found in the router logs:

2/10/14 2:27:46 AM ERROR [chid Starter] t.i2p.orchid.web.OrchidServlet: Unable to start Orchid

I checked and the *policy.jar files exist in my JRE folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\lib\security>dir
Volume in drive C is SSD
Volume Serial Number is E4F6-3180

Using regular outproxy to ​http://ipchicken.com works fine, but attempting to reach .onion sites via I2P results in a Squid proxy error. I'm not sure if this is related to the Java errors above or not.

Quote ​http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/crypto/Cipher.html :

For more information on default key size in JCE jurisdiction policy files, please see appendix E in JCE Reference Guide. ​http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/guide/security/jce/JCERefGuide.html#AppE

Default for AES is 128, Tor needs 256

Google 'how to install JCE unlimited strength policy files'

OP replies at ​http://zzz.i2p/topics/1564 :

Confirmed that by downloading:

​http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce-7-download-432124.html

and following:

​http://help.boomi.com/atomsphere/GUID-D7FA3445-6483-45C5-85AD-60CA5BB15719.html

I can eliminate those errors from my log and connect to .onion sites.

Sorry for the false alarm.

Fix in plugin 1.0.0-0.4-b1 to correctly set the plugin state to START_FAILED when this occurs.
