java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException

This is the exception for invalid or inappropriate algorithm parameters.

Example

import java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException;
import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException;
import javax.crypto.KeyGenerator;
import javax.xml.crypto.dsig.spec.HMACParameterSpec;

public class KeyGeneratorInitAlgorithm {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException, InvalidAlgorithmParameterException{
        KeyGenerator keyGen = KeyGenerator.getInstance("Blowfish");
        HMACParameterSpec hmac = new  HMACParameterSpec(128);
        keyGen.init(hmac);
    }
}

When you tries to run the above program, below error thrown.
