Interface PKCS11ProviderInstance

public interface PKCS11ProviderInstance

This inteface covers for the fact that instantiation of SunPKCS11 is performed differently in Java 8 and Java 9+. In order to make this code compatible with both Java 8 and Java 9+ the code snippet used to create an instance of a SunPKCS11 provider must be provided as an implementation of this interface.

  // Typical Java 8 implementation.
  Provider p11provider = new SunPKCS11(configInputStream);

  // Typical java 9+ implementation
  // configData is either a file name or "--" + configDataString
  Provider p = Security.getProvider("SunPKCS11");
    p = p.configure(configData);
