My problem:
- Mozilla-based Netscape has not implemented the window.crypto object.
What someone has already done:
- Written the SECCLAB XPCOM component.
What are the problems with SECCLAB:
- XPInstall packages are not signed
- Requires reinitializing Netscape
- It is not working with Netscape 7.1 (maybe recompiling SECCLAB could
fix it)
What is the other alternative:
- JSS
What are the problems with JSS:
- Huge download
What I want to do:
- Write a small JNI wrapper for some NSS functions
What is the showstopper problem:
- I want to get the user's profile directory. It is possible using
signed Javascript and XPCOM, but I want to sign only the Java applet.
  So I tried to call XPCOM from JNI to get the directory (identified
by "ProfD"). The first thing to do is call NS_InitXPCOM2. But it seems
to require the user's profile directory.
What must I do instead?
