How to use upload() of com.microsoft.azure.storage.blob.CloudBlockBlob

Question

I am developing a code where I need to upload the file data into azure storage blob. My requirement is to upload this data in encrypted format,thus I am using azure key vault.

final String storageConnectionString = "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=abc;AccountKey=pqr+lov=="; 
CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.parse(storageConnectionString);
com.microsoft.azure.storage.blob.CloudBlobClient blobClient = storageAccount.createCloudBlobClient();
CloudBlobContainer container = blobClient.getContainerReference("plmcontainer2");
container.createIfNotExists();
String filePath = "C:\\STSWorkspace\\PLMSubscriberMS\\Payload.xml";
com.microsoft.azure.storage.blob.CloudBlockBlob blob = container.getBlockBlobReference("Payload4.xml");
java.io.File source = new java.io.File(filePath);
java.io.FileInputStream fileInputStream=new java.io.FileInputStream(source);
// blob.upload(fileInputStream, source.length());


//encryption code

// Create the IKey used for encryption.
RsaKey key = new RsaKey("private:key1" /* key identifier */);


// Create the encryption policy to be used for upload and download.
BlobEncryptionPolicy policy = new BlobEncryptionPolicy(key, null);

// Set the encryption policy on the request options.
BlobRequestOptions options = new BlobRequestOptions();

options.setEncryptionPolicy(policy);

AccessCondition accessCondition = null;
operationContext opContext = null;
// Upload the encrypted contents to the blob.
blob.upload(fileInputStream, source.length(), null, options, null); //here is exception

On the last line I am getting an exception, if I change it to blob.upload(fileInputStream, source.length());

then the data is uploaded into blog but in plain text. how do I use blob.upload(fileInputStream, source.length(), null, options, null); what should I place at the location of null.

@AnandDeshmukh, I reproduced the issue. It seems that the issue was caused by not installing Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files for your current JRE or JDK. There is an answered SO thread Java Security: Illegal key size or default parameters? which you can refer to.

My Java Environment is JDK8u101. When I downloaded the jce files for Java 8 instead of the original files, the exception disappeared.

Please download the related version of JCE files to solve the issue.
