Signing is pretty straightforward, and gives you full access to the
local machine.
I can offer pointers on doing that, since I've recently used it in a
project.
Note that I've had mixed results with getting updates to propogate
nicely - sometimes Java Webstart will just not for a while (several
hours) notice that there is an update on the server for quite some time.
Regards, Noel.
The relevant part of my ANT build script looks like:
<!--
This produces a repacked JAR file, which is smaller and thus
less to download.
-->
<target name="packAndSign" description="">
<copy tofile="webapp/jws/allInOne.tmp.jar"
file="webapp/jws/allInOne.jar"/>
<!-- rearrange the JAR so that signing does not get messed up -->
<exec dir="webapp/jws" executable="pack200">
<arg line="--repack"/>
<arg line="allInOne.tmp.jar"/>
</exec>
<!-- sign the jar -->
<signjar
alias="myself"
keystore="etc/myKeyStore"
storePass="password">
<fileset dir="webapp/jws" includes="allInOne.tmp.jar"/>
</signjar>
<!-- now compress the JAR -->
<exec dir="webapp/jws" executable="pack200">
<arg line="allInOne.jar.pack.gz"/>
<arg line="allInOne.tmp.jar"/>
</exec>
<!-- delete the temporary file -->
<delete file="webapp/jwsallInOne.tmp.jar"/>
</target>
