In the context of the new JavaScript/[arbitrary language] bridge, it is required to sign at least one of the classes in the language runtime, namely the one which installs the adapter for that language. The reason is that the bridge allows you to potentially intercept all incoming JavaScript calls against objects in the scope of that applet, including objects that don't belong to that language, so it seemed too risky to allow this to be done by unsigned code until we better understand the security implications. -Ken --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
