A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
There are no API equivalents available for several of the command line keytool's operations. These incude :
keytool -genkey
keytool -certreq
keytool -selfcert
JUSTIFICATION :
These are fundamental pki operations.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Full functionality for generating certificates including certificate signing and handling PKCS#10 CSRs. Lack of this functionality is one of the most common reasons why developers must use BouncyCastle (which is great but shouldn't be standing in for core functionality).
CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
People are commonly using bouncy castle provider or commercially the IAIK toolkits.
