Subject: no success with signed applets

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the propper way to publish my problem with
signed applets
but it's the only way I havn't tried jet.

I wrote a simple applet that accesses a file in my local harddisk.
It's packed in a JAR-File and signed propperly.

After downloading on my client PC with Netscape Communicator 4.01
(german)

I get nothing but a security violation.

Could you please tell my what the reasons of this error might be?

- What is a propper test bed for testing signed applets?
- Is it possible to test it on ONE computer or is it better to use a
"real" server and
a "real" client?

I would be grateful for a quick answer because I'm writing my
dissertation
and I'm in a dead end now!

Thank you for your efforts,
