    Subject: Questions concerning Personal Java and JDK 1.2

    Date: Fri, 12 Feb 1999 17:28:54 -0800

Dear Sir/Madam,
I can't find anyone who I should mail this to then I found this address.
If you could please answer me I would be most grateful. These are product
type questions related to the Personal Java API:

1) My understanding is that PersonalJava 1.1.1 is based on the JDK 1.1.7.
Is there a difference between security support in this version of
PersonalJava (assuming it is included, I do understand it is defined as
optional) and JDK 1.2's Java Cryptography Architecture?

2) I read that Sun is planning to look at the features in JDK 1.2 to see
what might be appropriate to add to the Personal Java 1.X version.
Specifically, can you tell me if the Java Cryptography Extensions (JCE)
provided for JDK 1.2 could be supported with Personal Java 1.1.1 right now,
or is that in the future? How far in the future, any clues?

3) How can I obtain or who do I talk to about getting the SSL extensions
defined for the JDK 1.1 (javax.net.ssl). Also, do you know if this is
supported in JDK 1.2 or does it need to get modified?

Well, if you could answer these or point me in the right direction to get
some of these questions answered I would really, really, appreciate it!

Thank you,

Craig
