The last I heard from infrastructure was that JNLP is already added to the mime types on the webserver (standard setting now with most web servers I think). However they do not give out the apache certificate, and for good reasons.
So we don't have is a certificate. I managed to get a free certificate under my work email address, and signed Chainsaw and dependand packages for internal use. I could volunteer to use my apache email address for the signing...? That would require of course that people downloading the signed jars via web start would have to 'trust' my email address. I wonder if someone like Ceki's name might have more 'trustworthyness'.. But I am happy to sign the jars if that works for people. Alternatively there could be a Logging Service Certificate, but I am not sure how one would obtain something like that. Probably costs a bit. cheers, Paul Smith -----Original Message----- From: Ceki G�lc� To: Log4J Developers List Sent: 5/4/04 4:38 AM Subject: Re: Web start app & Certificates - redux I suggest to direct your question to infrastructure and wait for their answer...
