To: java-security@web2.javasoft.com

Can an applet be signed without being in an archive (.jar) all the
examples on this
page show how to sign archives, I looked at the javakey.exe to see
it syntax and
it also looks like you must place your applets in an archive. if
you can just
have the applet signed without having it in an archive could you
give me the syntax?

Also to setup the client to accept signed code your example shows
the use of
javakey.exe again, but the hotjava browser doesnt come with
javakey,..does this
mean inorder to setup a client to accept signed code you need to
have the JDK
installed on that system?

thanks in advance,
jason iozzo
