If no-one care about the result of getProvider(), is it possible to remove this method from the design?

With this method, the API is not easy to use, and the code is not easy to review, unless a developer read the class and methods spec very carefully, considering that the behavior differences impacted by calling sequences.

Anyway, calling sequence problems are known issues for JCA/JCE, just my $0.02 in case it helps to make the specification more clear, if you’d like to the tradition of JCA/JCE.
