[Bug classpath/22747] Security.removeProvider and Security.getProvider requires interned names

[gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The removeProvider and getProvider methods of java.security.Security only work
when the parameter (a string, which is the name of that provider) is a string
constant or an interned string, because it uses `==' instead of String.equals
when comparing provider names.

This is contrary to the behavior in Sun's 1.4.2 JRE and IBM's 1.4.1 JRE, and
makes dynamic usage of these methods inconvenient.

Fixed in latest CVS with the following changelog entry. It will be included in
the 0.10 release.

2004-05-28  Michael Koch  <address@hidden>

        * java/security/Security.java
        (insertProviderAt): Use equals() instead of ==.
        (removeProvicer): Likewise.
        (getProvider): Likewise.
