Call of getDefaultKeyGenerationParameters() in getKeyGenerationParameters() (class ECKeyImpl) mixes KeyType with AlgorithmType

when calling the function public KeyGenerationParameters getKeyGenerationParameters(SecureRandom rnd) from the class ECKeyImpl with an uninitialized Key, the function

getDefaultKeyGenerationParameters(type, size, rnd) gets called

where type is a constant from the keyBuilder ( http://www.win.tue.nl/pinpasjc/docs/apis/jc222/constant-values.html#javacard.security.KeyBuilder.TYPE_EC_FP_PRIVATE ).

in the called function getDefaultKeyGenerationParameters(byte algorithm, short keySize, SecureRandom rnd) { byte keyType = algorithm == KeyPair.ALG_EC_FP ? KeyBuilder.TYPE_EC_FP_PUBLIC : KeyBuilder.TYPE_EC_F2M_PUBLIC;

this type variable gets compared to constants from the KeyPair class ( http://www.win.tue.nl/pinpasjc/docs/apis/jc222/constant-values.html#javacard.security.KeyPair.ALG_EC_FP )

directly calling getDefaultsDomainParameters() from getKeyGenerationParameters() would solve the problem.
