Web Start : JAR resources in JNLP file are not signed by same certificate
843802Mar 27 2008 — edited Aug 7 2009What does this error mean exactly?
All the jars in this JNLP file are signed by the same certificate it's just that some of them are also signed by another certificate.
According to this closed/fixed bug : http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4928787
Web Start should not be rejecting jars due to multiple signers???
Is this a regression in 1.6? or was this never actually fixed?
I can make this work by not signing these 'presigned' jars and putting them into extension JNLP files but this is less than desirable.
Some reasons for not using the extension JNLP:
-- Avoid this bug (which is also marked closed but not fixed) --> http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6566071
-- I would like to sign all the jars I deliver with my own certificate.
-- I would also like to give my clients the ability so sign the jars themselves (their own certificate) after they certify the application for distribution throughout their organization.
