[SOLVED] How to self-sign an Applet?

[Master Zero]

Hello,

I am trying to build a TCP applet client that is to connect to a remote server and send and receive data. I know that I cannot do this unless the applet is sign and granted permission by the client’s browser. My question is how do I go about self signing an applet? I read in a few other threads that it’s the jar file that gets signed, correct? My next question is after I sign it, do I apply to html code as usual? If so, what do I do with the jar file?

I would really appreciated it if someone can write a small tutorial detailing how to sign, and use it once its signed. Thank you so much in advance.

Here are the two batch files I used to sign a jar file:

@REM Create a keystore for testing AppletReader
keytool -genkey -alias signApplet -keypass SomeKey -keystore SomeKS -storepass SomeStore
MORE

@REM Sign AppletReader.jar to new jar file
@echo keytool -genkey -alias signApplet -keypass SomeKey -keystore SomeKS -storepass SomeStore
jarsigner -keystore SomeKS -signedjar sAppletReader.jar AppletReader.jar signApplet
MORE

whhat do I do with the jar file?

Put the jar file with the html file with the <APPLET tag.

Thank you!

I was able to sign it and load it from a local HTML file, but I can’t load it from my web sever. It seems that it can’t find the class.

Error

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: VNC

Code

<applet code='VNC' archive='VNC.jar' width='100%' height='100%'></applet>
