Applet Signing

Phew! Even the mighty power of google didn’t make this too easy..
Here are the steps I took to sign my applet…

  1. keytool -genkey -alias sig
  2. keytool -export -alias sig -rfc -file sig.x509
  3. jarsigner MyAppletjar sig
  4. Enter Passphrase for keystore: *******
  5. jarsigner -verify -verbose -certs MyApplet.jar

Strangely I’m still getting security exceptions (trying to connect to another server other than the one hosting the applet). I’m currently stumped :(

  1. Perhaps the browser has cached an old, unsigned copy of the JAR?

  2. I think that was probably the case, I’ve been having some wierd issues with IE seeming to lock applets in the cache. Killing all instances seems to fix it
