hello everyone, i'm trying to get my way wiith the java-webstart plugin. i'm quite a newbie with it, sorry if i post silly questions.
i followed the tutorials here: http://mojo.codehaus.org/webstart-maven-plugin-parent/webstart-maven-plugin/howto.html first, i tried without signing the jars, and i got the .zip files. My application actually requires read permission on the local filesystem (its main purpose is to upload pdf files to a remote web server). Then, i added the signing related stuff to the pom,following an example found on some mailing-list. I ended up with this: <!-- SIGNING --> <!-- defining this will automatically sign the jar and its dependencies, if necessary --> <sign> <keystore>${basedir}/src/main/keystore/keystore</keystore> <keypass>asdfghjk</keypass> <storepass>qwertzui</storepass> <alias>test</alias> <validity>360</validity> <verify>true</verify> <dnameCn></dnameCn> <dnameOu></dnameOu> <dnameO></dnameO> <dnameL></dnameL> <dnameSt></dnameSt> <dnameC></dnameC> </sign> <!-- KEYSTORE MANGEMENT --> <keystore> <delete>true</delete><!-- delete the keystore --> <gen>true</gen><!-- optional shortcut to generate the store. --> </keystore> so, when I do a mvn install webstart:jnlp the application simply got stuck while (i guess) signing runtime dependencies. those are actually only these ones: <dependency> <groupId>commons-fileupload</groupId> <artifactId>commons-fileupload</artifactId> <version>1.1.1</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>commons-codec</groupId> <artifactId>commons-codec</artifactId> <version>1.3</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>commons-httpclient</groupId> <artifactId>commons-httpclient</artifactId> <version>3.0.1</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>commons-lang</groupId> <artifactId>commons-lang</artifactId> <version>2.2</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>jmimemagic</groupId> <artifactId>jmimemagic</artifactId> <version>0.0.4a</version> </dependency> so, anyone has any idea on why it takes so long to sign them ? actually, i don't even know if it ever finishes the whole process... the only output i get is a countless list of : [warn] [no]: Specificare nome e cognome [warn] [Unknown]: Specificare il nome dell'unità aziendale [warn] [Unknown]: Specificare il nome dell'azienda [warn] [Unknown]: Specificare la località [warn] [Unknown]: Specificare la provincia [warn] [Unknown]: Specificare il codice a due lettere del paese in cui si trova l'unità [warn] [Unknown]: Il dato CN=Unknown, OU=Unknown, O=Unknown, L=Unknown, ST=Unknown, C=Unknown è corretto? apart from the language, i guess it is related to the dname elements within the sign configuration. help! valerio -- http://valerioschiavoni.blogspot.com http://jroller.com/page/vschiavoni
