Java basic encryption decrypt util


Because I always need to do this for passwords in files and various utilities I thought I would post the code.

Note: it is more secure to encrypt one way (cryptographic hashing) this is for simple no hassle cases.



package za.co.test.common.util;



import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.security.InvalidKeyException;
import java.security.Key;
import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException;

import javax.crypto.BadPaddingException;
import javax.crypto.Cipher;
import javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSizeException;
import javax.crypto.NoSuchPaddingException;
import javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec;

import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;


public class EncryptionUtil {
private static final byte[] SECRET_KEY = "TESTKEY2013StormersRugby".getBytes();
    public static byte[] encryptToByteArray(String input)
        throws InvalidKeyException, BadPaddingException, IllegalBlockSizeException, NoSuchAlgorithmException, NoSuchPaddingException {
        Key key = generateKey();
        Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance(ALGORITHM);
        cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key);
        byte[] inputBytes = input.getBytes();
        inputBytes = cipher.doFinal(inputBytes);
        return Base64.encodeBase64(inputBytes);
    }

    public static String decryptByteArray(byte[] encryptionBytes)
        throws InvalidKeyException, BadPaddingException, IllegalBlockSizeException, NoSuchAlgorithmException, NoSuchPaddingException {
        Key key = generateKey();
        Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance(ALGORITHM);
        cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key);
        byte[] recoveredBytes = Base64.decodeBase64(encryptionBytes);
        recoveredBytes = cipher.doFinal(recoveredBytes);
        String recovered = new String(recoveredBytes);
        return recovered;
    }

    public static String encrypt(String input)
        throws InvalidKeyException, BadPaddingException, IllegalBlockSizeException, NoSuchAlgorithmException, NoSuchPaddingException,
               UnsupportedEncodingException {
        byte[] inputBytes = encryptToByteArray(input);
        return new String(inputBytes);
    }

    public static String decrypt(String encryptionBytes)
        throws InvalidKeyException, BadPaddingException, IllegalBlockSizeException, NoSuchAlgorithmException, NoSuchPaddingException {
        return decryptByteArray(encryptionBytes.getBytes());
    }

    private static Key generateKey() {
        Key key = new SecretKeySpec(SECRET_KEY, ALGORITHM);
        return key;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args)
        throws Exception {
        if (args == null || args.length < 1 || args[0] == null || args[0].length() < 1) {
            throw new NullPointerException("Please enter a password. Usage : java za.co.test.common.util.EncryptionUtil ");
        }
        String password = args[0];
        String pwd = EncryptionUtil.encrypt(password);
        System.out.println("The encrypted password is ---> " + pwd);
    }
}

MANIFEST.MF merge JDeveloper for an executable jar

Goto your project > properties. Then click on deployment in the menu. Edit or add a jar deployment profile. Fill in the details under jar options (select Include manifest and give it a main class name) Also remember that the merge functionality only works with a BLANK line at the end of the merge file. REALLY this caught me. My merge file contents: Class-Path: commons-codec-1.3.jar [...empty line here CRLF...]

JBO-25013: TooManyObjectsException

oracle.jbo.TooManyObjectsException: JBO-25013: Too many objects match the primary key oracle.jbo.Key[Key null ]. Ok so for you it may be trying to insert a duplicate record this should explain your problem (also check trigger they could be the cause.) NOTE: You can also try to create a new duplicate EO if you have a page with two VO's using the same EO. This could sort your problems. For me I needed to add a launch listener on my LOV and clear the cache of my vo. LOV <af:inputListOfValues id="NameId" popupTitle="#{bindings.Name.hints.label}" value="#{bindings.RolName1.inputValue}" label="#{bindings.RolName1.hints.label}" model="#{bindings.RolName1.listOfValuesModel}" required="#{bindings.RolName1.hints.mandatory}" columns="#{bindings.RolName1.hints.displayWidth}" shortDesc="#{bindings.RolName1.hints.tooltip}" launchPopupListener="#{backingBeanScope.backingBean.launchPop...

ADF Encountered deferred syntax #{ in template text.

OracleJSP error: oracle.jsp.parse.JspParseException:  Error: Encountered deferred syntax #{ in template text.  If intended as a literal, escape it or set directive  deferredSyntaxAllowedAsLiteral This normally happens when you have some tag lib dependancy problems but this was  not the case for me... My problem: For some reason my model project had web stuff in it(public html etc)  so I had to remove the public html stuff from my project and manually edit the Model.jpr project file and remove the tag lib entries at the bottom o the file. Go figure.
