Issue

• Recent java and JBoss EAP upgrade caused javax.crypto.BadPaddingException: Given final block not properly padded error.
• Starting the JBoss application server intermittently fails with javax.crypto.BadPaddingException: Given final block not properly padded error. Expect the JBoss application server to start. This error started happening when we upgraded from java 1.7._40 to Java 1.80_65, and at the same time upgraded JBoss EAP from 6.1.0 to 6.4.0.
