Hello,

I'm having trouble just running the signedWriteFile applet
(http://java.sun.com/security/signExample/) using appletviewer 1.1.4,
although I have "Duke" set as a full authority on my system:

Duke[identitydb.obj][trusted]
public key initialized
certificates:
certificate 1 for : CN=Duke, OU="JavaSoft ", O=Sun
MicroSystems, C=US
from : CN=Duke, OU="JavaSoft ", O=Sun
MicroSystems, C=US

I keep on getting the "AppletSecurityException".

I also tried downloading the:
http://www.javasoft.com/security/signExample/signedWriteFile.jar
file, but was unable to unjar it with the following exception:
[java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid bit length repeat]

Were there any changes made to the jar file format or to the applet
signing process since this example was written?

thanks,
Alex.
