Passing JVM parameters for applets

[Grzesiek]

Hi,

I have a server side application digitally signing XML documents. The
library that I use (Apache XML Security) requires that xalan.jar be in
the java.endorsed.libs directory. Recently I have run into a problem,
when trying to perform document signing using an applet. The problem
is that I have no idea how to tell the client-side JVM to use xalan
that is packaged together with my applet as an endorsed library, like
I did it before by putting xalan.jar in the endorsed directory at the
server side.

I have found this post:

but it provides no real solution and I'm afraid it's quite obsolete
also.

Do you know how to elegantly deal with this problem?

Thanks for your time!

Can you include the contents of xalan.jar in your applet's jar file?

Do you mean unpacking xalan.jar and packagaging the .class files
directly in my jar? Yes, I think it's no problem, but does it help?
