hi,

for jdk 1.1:

http://java.sun.com/security/signExample

for jdk 1.2, check out:

http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/guide/security/index.html

in the 1.2 documentation, note that keytool has replaced javakey,
there's a jarsigner tool to sign code, and end users or administrators
must configure a policy.

hope this helps.
thanks,
charlie
