Required JRE Patch for SOA Agent for IBM WebSphere

The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) required for use by the SOA Agent for IBM WebSphere must be patched to support unlimited key strength in the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) package. If you are installing the SOA Agent for IBM WebSphere, the WebSphere JRE must also be patched to support unlimited key strength.

WebSphere's JRE is based on Sun's JRE on the Solaris platform; this patch is available at Sun's website. The patch for the Windows platform is available at IBM's website. See the IBM documentation for more details.

If the JRE is not patched to support unlimited key strength, WebSphere will fail to start once the SOA Agent has been configured on WebSphere.
