RE: Will Axis Clients Simply Not Work In Applets ? (SOLVED, HERE'S HOW)

[Nicholas <nw...@yahoo.com>]

Yes, thanks. Signing worked perfectly.
As a heads up to anyone else trying to do this with a
test certificate for development, here are the simple
instructions for doing so:  (Extracted from
http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/docs/developersguide.html#dev)

Signing JAR Files with a Test Certificate

Here are the steps needed to sign a JAR file with a
test certificate:

   1. Make sure that you have a JDK 1.2 or JDK 1.3
keytool and jarsigner in your path (located in the
J2SE SDK bin directory).

   2. Create a new key in a new keystore as follows:

          keytool -genkey -keystore myKeystore -alias
myself 

      You will get prompted for a information about
the new key, such as password, name, etc. This will
create the myKeystore file on disk. A self-signed test
certificate also will be created.

   3. Check to make sure that everything is ok. To
list the contents of the keystore, use the command:

          keytool -list -keystore myKeystore 

      It should list something like:

          Keystore type: jks
          Keystore provider: SUN

          Your keystore contains 1 entry:

          myself, Tue Jan 23 19:29:32 PST 2001,
keyEntry,
          Certificate fingerprint (MD5):
         
C2:E9:BF:F9:D3:DF:4C:8F:3C:5F:22:9E:AF:0B:42:9D

   4. Finally, sign the JAR file with the test
certificate as follows:

          jarsigner -keystore myKeystore test.jar
myself 

      Repeat this step on all of your JAR files.
