Hmm, I don't understand why this would be; typically one can invoke
this demo by saying
% appletviewer http://java.sun.com/security/signExample/signedWriteFile.html
This works fine for me. You might try moving your
~/.hotjava/properties file to some other place, and starting fresh (so
to speak) in case you have any funky properties set up. Also make
sure you're using the appletviewer from JDK 1.1.1.
As you noticed (I'm sure!) Netscape Navigator 3.x doesn't support Java
signatures so this demo won't work with that browser. It does work
with HotJava (http://java.sun.com/products/HotJava).
If you are interested in using Java signatures with the Netscape
browser, let the folks at Netscape know!
Thanks,
Marianne
