JavaFX Application : cannot find SunPKCS11 class - javafx

Question

I am developing a JavaFX application used to sign pdf using eToken Pro. The sign methods run perfectly in a normal Java project. While when run in the JavaFX application, it keeps encountering exceptions like this:
Exception in Application start method

the codes I used to sign pdf are as follows:
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
Signer signer = new Signer(new File("C:/Users/Adam/Desktop/pdf/hello.pdf"));
signer.signWithToken(true);
}
the codes of class Signer are as follows:
public class Signer {
// define the file to be signed
private final File file;
private static String smartcardDllPath;
private static int level;
private static String reason;
private static String src;
private static String dest;
private static String location;
private static Collection<CrlClient> crlList;
private static OcspClient ocspClient;
private static TSAClient tsaClient;
private static final String DLL = "C:/Windows/System32/eTPKCS11.dll";
public Signer(File theFile) {
location = "HK SAR";
smartcardDllPath = null;
file = theFile;
}
public void signWithToken(boolean certified) {
try {
String config = "name=eToken\nlibrary=" + DLL + "\nslotListIndex=" + getSlotsWithTokens(DLL)[0];
ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(config.getBytes());
Provider providerPKCS11 = new SunPKCS11(bais);
Security.addProvider(providerPKCS11);
configureParameters(certified);
// create PdfSignatureAppearance
PdfSignatureAppearance appearance = getPdfSigAppearance();
// configure the keystore, alias, private key and certificate chain
char[] pin = "love4Sakura".toCharArray();
KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("PKCS11");
ks.load(null, pin);
String alias = (String) ks.aliases().nextElement();
PrivateKey pk = (PrivateKey) ks.getKey(alias, null);
Certificate[] chain = ks.getCertificateChain(alias);
printChainInfo(chain);
// configure the CRL, OCSP and TSA
configCrlOcspTsa(chain);
// create the signature
ExternalSignature pks = new PrivateKeySignature(pk, DigestAlgorithms.SHA256, "SunPKCS11-eToken");
ExternalDigest digest = new BouncyCastleDigest();
MakeSignature.signDetached(appearance, digest, pks, chain, crlList, ocspClient,
tsaClient, 0, MakeSignature.CryptoStandard.CMS);
} catch (IOException | DocumentException | GeneralSecurityException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Signer.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
private static long[] getSlotsWithTokens(String libraryPath) {
CK_C_INITIALIZE_ARGS initArgs = new CK_C_INITIALIZE_ARGS();
String functionList = "C_GetFunctionList";
initArgs.flags = 0;
PKCS11 tmpPKCS11 = null;
long[] slotList = null;
try {
try {
tmpPKCS11 = PKCS11.getInstance(libraryPath, functionList, initArgs, false);
System.out.println(tmpPKCS11.toString());
} catch (IOException ex) {
try {
throw ex;
} catch (IOException ex1) {

} catch (IOException | PKCS11Exception ex) {
}
}
try {
slotList = tmpPKCS11.C_GetSlotList(true);
for (long slot : slotList) {
CK_TOKEN_INFO tokenInfo = tmpPKCS11.C_GetTokenInfo(slot);
System.out.println("slot: " + slot + "\nmanufacturerID: "
+ String.valueOf(tokenInfo.manufacturerID) + "\nmodel: "
+ String.valueOf(tokenInfo.model));
}
} catch (PKCS11Exception ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Signer.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
return slotList;
}
Before you guys answer: I want to emphasize that I reference the Signer class in a normal Java Project perfectly. So I donn't think it's a 32-bit or 64-bit problem. Plus, I am using the 32-bit JDK 1.7

Answer 1

This issue can be because unsupported version of java.Do one thing download particular jar file for that and include it on your project it'll work for you.
You can download the jar from this link -
http://www.docjar.com/jar/sunpkcs11.jar

Answer 2

I was also getting the same error -
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11
Adding the following dependency in pom.xml helped me -
<dependency>
<groupId>sunpkcs11</groupId>
<artifactId>sunpkcs11</artifactId>
<scope>system</scope>
<version>1.0</version>
<systemPath>/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_341.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/ext/sunpkcs11.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
In <systemPath>...</systemPath>, give the appropriate path of sunpkcs11.jar from your system.
