    Subject: Need for X.509 & SSL in JDK

Hi!

>From talking to your developers and LOTS of other
developers in the industry, we all think that
JavaSoft needs to make the X.509 certificate and
SSL available in JDK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Since more and more products will depend on these technologies,
the developers will either have to wait for them in
the new JDK releases, or they will have to break the
pure Java promise by using the Microsoft's Crypto SDK through
native calls in their products.

We understand that some of the technologies are available
in the JavaSoft server toolkit. But the problem with
that is A) the toolkit licensing fee is too expensive.
B) most of the times we only need a small portion of the
all the features in the toolkit.

Your kind reply is greatly appreciated.
