If my memory doesn't fail me, you can. I remember trying
DSA signinig of applet long time ago, following an example
provided by Sun. But even if you can do this, you should
just limit this to testing/experimental only. The purpose
of purchasing a certificate from a CA is that when
somebody uses your applet, he could indeed confirm that
the applet come from you, given that the CA says so.
