Hi,
Please review this simple code cleanup:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~xuelei/8159009/webrev.00/
The javax.crypto.ExemptionMechanism.finalize() is implemented as:
/**
* Ensures that the key stored away by this ExemptionMechanism
* object will be wiped out when there are no more references to it.
*/
protected void finalize() {
keyStored = null;
// Are there anything else we could do?
}
Plan to remove this finalize() method as it really does nothing more
than the default finalizer but hurt the performance.
Thanks,
Xuelei
