Hi, Took me a while and help from David Blevins, but we figured out a solution to the issues concerning applets. I have created an example which you can checkout from our svn repository. Read the README.txt of the example first before you try to run the example. I have tried to be as detailed as possible in the README.txt, if you have any suggestions to improve the instructions in it, that would be really appreciated. The maven pom.xml is not perfect and kind of tries to do some tasks twice -- like signing jar files (which should not affect the final outcome of the example).
Here is the link to the README.txt in case you want to quickly go over the example http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openejb/trunk/openejb3/examples/webapps/applet/README.txt?revision=744815&view=markup&pathrev=744815 On Sat, Feb 14, 2009 at 2:30 AM, Karan Malhi <[email protected]> wrote: > You would need to sign your applet.
