AXIS loaded from an Applet.
Hi,
I noticed last week that there where several posts
about running axis from an Applet. I am now trying to
do this and am running into the same problems. Was
anyone able to find a solution that works?
Thanks,
Brian

Re: AXIS loaded from an Applet.

Brian,
the basic principle is that signing applet code causes the browser to prompt
the user for the privileges that the code needs; the browser denies the
privileges to unsigned code without prompting. The browser & JVM have their
own signature handling code and are independent of keytool etc; any web
browser that can run an applet should be able to handle signed jars.
You can sign your own jars using a self-signed certificate as dims indicated.
This works provided that the user running the applet in the browser decides to
trust you as signatory. If they decide not to trust you, then the applet code
doesn't get its network privs and the SOAP communication fails.
If you sign the applet jars with a self-signed certificate, then the prompt
for the network privileges warns that the certificate is not trusted. If you
buy a jar-signing certificate from a well-known commercial CA, then the prompt
says that your jars are from a trusted source. This may encourage your users
to trust the applet.
Cheers,
Guy

Hi Dims,
Thank you for the replies. If I use jarsigner/keytool,
wont users of the applet have to use keytool as well?
I'm not sure how applet-signing/loading/consumption
works.

you can sign it yourself. no need for a cert. just use java keytool to
generate a cert.

I looked through them. The only solid solution I read
there was to purchase a cert from a CA and sign all
jar files.
isnt there another way around this issue?
Thanks,
Brian
