CryptoPermssion object missing?

What the JCE allows at runtime is defined in the JCE jurisdiction policy 
file.

The javax.crypto.CryptoPermission class isn't a public class since it
is only used by the JCE framework internally at runtime. This class
exists in Sun's JDK 5 and 6 as well.

Hope this helps,
Sharon

Im trying to figure out how to check what the permissions of the JCE
allow at runtime and have run into a bit of a stumbling block.  The
policy file uses javax.crypto.CryptoPermission as the permission name,
and from what I can tell in the JCE for 1.4 that existed as an object,
and it appears to be in the openjdk for 6 and 7.  However, the Sun JDK
has no such object (either 5 or 6).

What is the correct way to check for these permissions then? Its a
little confusing since I cant seem to determine if that object should
really exist.

Thanks,

Jay
