JSSE debug modules built after 14 JAN 2004 now display the build level when javax.net.debug is set to true
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
It is sometimes difficult to determine if the debug environment for Java™ Secure Socket Extensions (JSSE) is initialized. Setting up the debug environment involves:

  • Installing ibmjsse-debug.jar into install_root/java/jre/lib/ext

  • Removing ibmjsse.jar from install_root/java/jre/lib/ext

  • Setting on the debug option using one of the following:


    • A System Property of javax.net.debug with a value of true

    • A JVM command line option of -Djavax.net.debug=true


  • Restarting WebSphere® Application Server after installation of the debug jar file and debug setting

 
Cause
It is helpful to quickly determine if the debug environment for JSSE is correctly set up and functioning.
 
Resolving the problem
JSSE debug modules with a build data newer than 14 JAN 2004 now issue its build level near the beginning of the output in standard output if the debug module is properly installed, and if the javax.net.debug option is properly set.

An example of this output is:


JSSEProvider Build-Level: -20040401
