| Java People,
|
| How can I get my applet (when ran through a browser) to
| read/write a text file? It works well, as usual, using
| appletviewer.
You have to put your stuff in a JAR-file and sign that JAR-file using a
signing-tool.
JDK1.1.x ships such a tool called javakey. javakey uses an alogorithm,
called DSA, which is a public domain encryption algorithm.
Netscape however doesn't understand DSA, but only RSA instead, which is
patented by RSA Inc.
Netscape delivers a free tool called SignTool (formerly known as
Zigbert, I believe), which you can download somewhere from
developer.netscape.com with which you should be able to sign your
applets in a way the Netscape browser understand it.
The Internet Exploder is a totally different story, which I don't know
to much about....
There is an article I know of, you might find usefull:
