Hello

I am looking at the
http://java.sun.com/security/signExample12/
and execute the tutorials.

One question to the tutorial:

in the doit script the following command is executed:

echo "Create the archive:"
jar cfv signedWriteFile.jar writeFile.class writeFile.html

Why is the html file also jared? Is the html file used by the browser in any
way?

Now I want to create my own signed applet. This applet is going to access
(read) the local filesystem with a FileDialog og FileChooser and copy
selected files to another location.

I want to run my applet on our Intranet using Netscape 4.51 with the Java
Plug-in 1.2. I want to use self-signed certificates, since the applet will
be running on our Intranet.

Do you have an example of how I can do this step by step?

Kind Regards

Per Ivar Skinderhaug
