java.security.KeyPairGenerator oddity

[Chris Gray]

Looking at KeyPairGenrator I see that one of the initialize() methods is 
defined as follows:

public void initialize(int keysize, SecureRandom random)
  {
    initialize(keysize, random);
  }

Either I'm missing something or this is a case of recursion: see 
recursion. ;->

Sun's API docs are maddeningly vague as usual, but I _think_ that the default 
implementation should just throw an UnsupportedOperationException.

BTW if anyone knows where to find a more useful description of how this stuff 
is supposed to work I'd be grateful for a pointer ...

Best wishes
