Status:  Closed
Platform Version:  None


Summary:  Security.removeProvider and Security.getProvider requires interned 
names

Original Submission:  The removeProvider and getProvider methods of 
java.security.Security only work when the parameter (a string, which is the 
name of that provider) is a string constant or an interned string, because it 
uses `==' instead of String.equals when comparing provider names.

This is contrary to the behavior in Sun's 1.4.2 JRE and IBM's 1.4.1 JRE, and 
makes dynamic usage of these methods inconvenient.
