Signing third-parties JARs
Hi all,
I'm having a problem trying to run an applet that connects to a MySQL database. I can run it normally in my workstation, by editing the java.policy. However, I want to make it viewable by people in the intranet.
I saw posts about signing JARs for this goal. My problem is that I use two JAR files: my personal JAR, and the MySQL connector JAR file (which I donwloaded). I assume that I must sign both JAR files, right. Well, singing them with "jarsinger" tool, creating a certification (.cer), didn't work out.
My html applet tag looks like this:
<applet
width=900
height=600
codebase=.
class=Applet.class
archive="signed_MyJar.jar,signed_mysqlConnector.jar">
The "Do you trust" pop-up even shows up, but chosing "yes" doesn't make the applet run. I saw in some pages that you have to sign the JARs specificly for the Internet Explorer (browser that I'm using), using some CAB tools. That didn't work out fine either. Is that the problem?
I don't know if it's the JRE (which is 1.5.0), or the MySQL Connector jar file.
Can someone please help me on this issue? I'd be very flattered.
Thanks,
Alexandre.
