Hi, im trying to sign my applet, ive created my "myjarfile.jar" which contains my class "FormFile.class", and I have tested that it works in a html file.

Now I'm trying to sign my applet so it can access the users harddrive to save files.

But when I try and sign it, I get an error.

Heres it is:

Creating key, seems to work fine

Quote:
C:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\bin>keytool -genkey -alias mykey -keypass password
Enter keystore password: password

Certifying key, seems to work fine

C:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\bin>keytool -selfcert -alias mykey -keypass password
Enter keystore password: password

Assigning the key to the jar file returns with this error, any ideas?

Quote:
C:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\bin>jarsigner -keystore C:\Mine\MacquaireUniversity\Forms -storepass password -keypass password myjarfile.jar mykey
jarsigner error: java.lang.RuntimeException: keystore load: Invalid keystore format

thanks
