When I click on the link, the application loads, then dies without ever prompting me if I trust the certificate or not. I looked at the console output, and the application stopped because of a security exception. That is what I would expect if the jar wasn't signed. Quote: I used keytool to create a keystore on my local machine. Signed the jar. Pushed the jar to the webserver. Attempted to start it. I've found some messages regarding the need to get a proper certificate in Java 1.5, but not being a security person, it wasn't clear to me what certificate the person was talking about, or how to go about getting one. (I assume I don't have to go to verisign to test an app?).

I think this is a work around to an unusual bug. I posted it on sun. Perhaps they will agree with me, or they will not. The behavior is different than 1.4. doug.descombaz (AT) gmail (DOT) com wrote: Quote: I am signing a jar that I am deploying with webstart.
