org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Error in encryption (Illegal key size or default parameters)

This issue comes when your application uses a bigger key size in encryption than the default key size provided by the Java runtime.

Solution:

1. Download Unlimited Strength Java(TM) Cryptography Extension (JCE) Policy Files for the Java(TM) Platform (based on your JDK version)
2. Please *.jar files in the following location
• $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/
