why bad padding exception???

843811Apr 17 2009 — edited Apr 17 2009
hi guys
here i am trying to decrypt the already encrypted string by one different encrpytion algo.
in the example i have encrypted the string by des and then i tried to decrypt it using blowfish but it gives as the output null instead of a random string...because of a bad padding exception(check line 86). help to remove the exception.
if we try to decrypt the des encrypted string by des again it give n padding exception. why with blowfish???
