Subject: Signed applets
I am having some difficulty signing applets and getting them to run within
Netscape 4.5 . The example I'm following is that in the page
http://java.sun.com/security/signExample/, in the "doit" script.
I am able to install the certificates for Duke and to run the writeFile
applet in the pre-made signedWriteFile.jar just fine. But when
I create my own signed jar file I get the error message
"writeFile: caught security exception"
1. Is there an obvious reason for this problem?
2. Can I obtain a more detailed error message, which might tell me the
reason for the exception (e.g. corresponding certificate not in database)?
with thanks,
Dan Ruderman
