iaik pkcs#11 wrapper and java.lang.NoSuchMethodError

Question

I am trying to run a simple sample code from iaik pkcs#11 wrapper (version 1.3, the latest atm) but get NoSuchMethodError on pkcs11Module.initialize call.

Module pkcs11Module = Module.getInstance("siecap11");
pkcs11Module.initialize(null); 
Slot[] slots = pkcs11Module.getSlotList(Module.SlotRequirement.TOKEN_PRESENT);
for (Slot s: slots) {
    System.out.println(s.getSlotID());
}
pkcs11Module.finalize(null);

Exception stack trace is as following

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:     iaik.pkcs.pkcs11.wrapper.PKCS11.C_Initialize(Ljava/lang/Object;Z)V
at iaik.pkcs.pkcs11.Module.initialize(Module.java:308)
at test.pkcs11.Pkcs11Service.listSlotsWithTokens(Pkcs11Service.java:98)
at test.pkcs11.TestPkcs11Service.testListSlots(TestPkcs11Service.java:35)

A similar code works fine on Linux, so i am guessing there is something wrong with pkcs11wrapper.dll.

pkcs11wrapper.dll and siecap11.dll are in c\windows\system32 directory and both are 32bit modules.

I have tried a different pkcs#11 provider, debug and release versions of pkcs11wrapper but the result was the same.

The debug version of the pkcs11wrapper.dll generates the following output:

11/26/13 21:30:50   CALL: entering (in Java_iaik_pkcs_pkcs11_wrapper_PKCS11Implementation_initializeLibrary)
11/26/13 21:30:50   CALL: exiting  (in Java_iaik_pkcs_pkcs11_wrapper_PKCS11Implementation_initializeLibrary)
11/26/13 21:30:50   CALL: entering (in Java_iaik_pkcs_pkcs11_wrapper_PKCS11Implementation_connect)
11/26/13 21:30:50   INFO: connect to PKCS#11 module: siecap11 ...  (in Java_iaik_pkcs_pkcs11_wrapper_PKCS11Implementation_connect)
11/26/13 21:30:50   CALL: exiting  (in Java_iaik_pkcs_pkcs11_wrapper_PKCS11Implementation_connect)

The utility applications that came with the smart cards work fine, so is opensc pkcs11-tool.

EDIT:

Using version 1.2.17 of pkcs11 wrapper library and its accompanying dll, the code above works without a problem. But the original question remains unresolved.

EDIT2:

Following code, suggested by SubOptimal generates the following output.

@Test
public void testFindLibrary() {
    String lineSeparator = System.getProperty("path.separator");
    String libraryPath = System.getProperty("java.library.path");
    for (String dir : libraryPath.split(lineSeparator)) {
        File f = new File(dir + "/" + "pkcs11wrapper.dll"); 
        if (f.exists()) {
            System.out.println("found in: " + f.getAbsolutePath());
        }
    }
}

output:

found in: C:\Windows\system32\pkcs11wrapper.dll
found in: C:\Windows\system32\pkcs11wrapper.dll
found in: C:\Windows\system32\pkcs11wrapper.dll

the exception

 java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:     iaik.pkcs.pkcs11.wrapper.PKCS11.C_Initialize(Ljava/lang/Object;Z)V

states that a method with the signature void C_Initialize(Object o, boolean b) should be called and doesn't exist. And you're right with your guess so i am guessing there is something wrong with pkcs11wrapper.dll. Based on the Javadoc this method signature has been changed PKCS#11 Wrapper version 1.3 and PKCS#11 Wrapper version 1.2.15 (could not find one for 1.2.17).

So your DDL pkcs11wrapper.dll is for an older version. You can check the version in the file properties menu under Windows.

edit Seems the dll from version 1.2.17 is somewhere in the java.library.path. I did following tests with the GetInfo.java from iaikPkcs11Wrapper archive.

dll      jar      result
1.2.17   1.2.17   work successful
1.2.17   1.3      java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: iaik.pkcs.pkcs11.wrapper.PKCS11Implementation.C_Initialize(Ljava/lang/Object;Z)V
1.3      1.3      work successful
1.3      1.2.17   java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: iaik.pkcs.pkcs11.wrapper.PKCS11Implementation.C_Initialize(Ljava/lang/Object;)V

The combination dll-1.2.17 and jar-1.3 produces your exception.

You could run following code to find the dll in an unexpected location

import java.io.File;
class Scratch {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String lineSeparator = System.getProperty("path.separator");
        String libraryPath = System.getProperty("java.library.path");
        for (String dir : libraryPath.split(lineSeparator)) {
            if (new File(dir + "/" + "pkcs11wrapper.dll").exists()) {
                System.out.println("found in: " + dir);
            }
        }
    }
}

}

edit 2 the exception of the poster java.lang.NoSuchMethodError is not related to mixed DLL and JAR version, as this produces an java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError

another try to get the error reason

PKCS11Test.java

import iaik.pkcs.pkcs11.Module;
import iaik.pkcs.pkcs11.Info;
import iaik.pkcs.pkcs11.Slot;

public class PKCS11Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Module pkcs11Module = Module.getInstance(args[0]);
        pkcs11Module.initialize(null);
        pkcs11Module.finalize(null);
    }
}

PKCS11Test.cmd

set CLASS=PKCS11Test
set JAR=iaikPkcs11Wrapper.1.3.jar
set PKCS11_DLL=%~dp0\opensc_pkcs11.dll
rem cp PKCS11Wrapper.1.3.dll pkcs11wrapper.dll
javac -cp %JAR% %CLASS%.java || pause && exit
java -cp %JAR%;. -Djava.library.path=%~dp0 %CLASS% %PKCS11_DLL%

replace the name of the DLL in the PKCS11_DLL variable with the name of your DLL
the test expect all files in the same directory

Hi, thanks for the answer, 'pkcs11wrapper.dll' is the one that comes with pkcs#11 wrapper bundle. So, I am testing the compatible jar and dll versions and still get the same Exception. — ali köksal, Nov 29 '13 at 12:44
@alikox Hi, I did some investigation it seems in your library path there is somewhere the DLL from version 1.2.17. see the **edit** section in my answer above. — SubOptimal, Dec 02 '13 at 11:23
Hi, I tried your code, although it did find three of pkcs11 wrapper dll's all of them are in the same directory. I edited my question to reflect this. — ali köksal, Dec 02 '13 at 12:48
When it's reported three times it means your PATH contains three times the directory `C:\Windows\system32\` (which is not a real problem). What is the version of the DLL C:\Windows\system32\pkcs11wrapper.dll? The file size of the DLL version 1.3 is 99,328 bytes. — SubOptimal, Dec 02 '13 at 15:36
Hi @alikox, maybe during your build comething get wrong as you get the exception `java.lang.NoSuchMethodError` and in my tests I got `java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError`. Have a look to the new **edit** — SubOptimal, Dec 03 '13 at 12:14
Hi, depending on the combination of the wrapper jar and native library versions, exception message changes from UnsatisfiedLinkError and NoSuchMethodError. I decided to go with the older version of the library. I upvote your answer so that you get half the bounty. Since the issue remains unresolved, I can not mark an answer as accepted. Thanks again. — ali köksal, Dec 06 '13 at 08:06

Not directly related to your original question, but the suns bug 6880559 and its duplicates indicate that there is some issue with pkcs11 implementation in Windows 64 bit.

Thanks for your answer, that is one of the reasons I prefer IAIK's pkcs#11 provider over the one from Sun. Regards. – ali köksal Dec 06 '13 at 08:09

After moving to a new computer the problem vanished. There was possibly another version of DLL somewhere in the java library / system path.
