Jar signing is just not wotking

[Efi Merdler]

Hello,
I'm trying to sign my jar file (which I created using fatjar), I
followed sun's tutorial on subject and everything seems work (I get no
error messages and everything is generated) however when trying to
load my jar and deploy it using jnlp file suddenly java web start does
see my signed jar and ignores it (i.e. it treats it like an unsigned
jar) and outputs a java.security.AccessControlException.

Why ?

Thanks,
Efi

What certificate did you use to sign it? Is it a valid certificate? i.e.
signed by a recognised Certificate Authority, and within the cert
validity period?

That is the most likely problem, I suspect.

Thanks, I'm using the default certificate i.e. test certificate, it
is a self made certificate.
It's within the validity period (I signed it today).

Which is what? *

Does the JNLP file request extended permissions?
Are you prompted for them?
* Validate it against the DTD then post it here.

Hi,
Thanks, you were right it seems the the example that sun gave on their
web site is incorrect (they didn't add the DTD directive to their XML
file) I used netbeans's web start plugin and it solved my problem.

Thanks again,
Efi

Many (seemingly unrelated) problems start
in the JNLP file.

Great. Glad you sorted it.

Thanks again,

You're welcome.
