Hi,
We place all our jar files in an NFS drive in one of our big Unix machine (has a big disk). The web server machines (small Unix boxes running Apache) mount to the NFS drive. The NFS drive is set as DocumentRoot in each Apache. The jars have been signed and the all-permissions in the JNLP file is set. The codebase is set to the F5 IP address. Java Web Start throw security exception error saying the the jars is unsigned. It works fine if i change the bigip address to one of the Apache machine's IP and install JWS only from that machine.
Questions:
1) Is there a way to dynamically replace the "bigip" with the current host address of the Apache machine.
2) If it's not possible, what is the correct architecture of using JWS with Big-IP?.
3) Can i call WebServices (also load balanced) from my JWS's application?.
THANKS,
