Is there any documentation of this anywhere? - all I can find is:

String configName = "/opt/bar/cfg/pkcs11.cfg";
Provider p = new sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11(configName);

which is fine if the configuration file is a separate disk file but suffers
from the usual problem if the configuration information has to be packaged
in the application .jar.

How do I set up and configure a SunPKCS11 provider without the hassle of
deploying and locating a separate disk file?

Oh, and when it says:

=================

library

pathname of PKCS#11 implementation

This is the full pathname (including extension) of the PKCS#11
implementation; the format of the pathname is platform dependent. For
example, /opt/foo/lib/libpkcs11.so might be the pathname of a PKCS#11
implementation on Solaris and Linux while C:\foo\mypkcs11.dll might be one
on Windows.

=================

I hope it's lying and that the full pathname is not required and that
"xxx.dll" will do fine if the DLL is in the Windows system directory? Or do
I really have to write some code to ask Java where the Windows system
directory is and build the pathname?
