You usually need JSSE to secure your session - i.e. authenticate the message endpoints
and ecnrypt / decrypt the message. JSSE makes use of JCE under the cover. Hence if
you need more information of the cryptographic capabilities of your Java Runtime you
need
to look into the docs of your JCE prov
"I think that
just a few cryptographic functionality is implemented and what JSSE is
basically oriented to SSL/TLS connectivity"
From my experience as a user of JSSE, I totally
disagree with that.

The latest 1.4 JDKs include JSSE by default. Bouncy Castle, as someone
has mentioned already, extends
cryptography even further from my experience.
Everything depends upon what you are trying to accomplish. Java does
implement all of the algorithms
you are looking for in the default JCE package
