No prompt for the certificate

Question

HI,
I follow all the steps to get a signed application working but I can't get the prompt for the certificate and JWS hangs with 99% cpu!!!! Anyone knows why????

Answer 1

Take a look at my Thread from Jun, 10. 2001. (http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=38&thread=71660)
I mail Sun a workaround and also the solution how to fix the bug in the code.... but we are still waiting more than 2 week for a solution from Sun :-(
Here is the detailed bug-report:
Problem:
JavaWS1.0.1 will not launch a signed application if the OS is
German, French or Italian. (Spain & English work)
If found the problem JWS 1.0.1 not working with the following
Countries: Germany,
France and Italy (Spain works):
You have problems with your resource files (javaws-i10n.jar) and
therefor perhaps
problems with the class java.util.PropertyResourceBundle:
Here the description of the bug:
Take a look at the resource-file in in the jar-package
javaws-i10n.jar:
Here you find the following files in the directory
com/sun/javaws/resources
string.properties -> work fine
string_es.properties -> work fine
string_de.properties -> failed (also it and fr)
The problem is the entry (key): 'certs.verify.msg'
1.) English value:
This {0} is requesting unrestricted access to your local machine
and network.
Do you want to install and run: {1}
Signed and distributed by: {2}
2.) German value:
{0} fordert unbeschr?nkten Zugriff auf Ihren lokalen Rechner und
Ihr Netzwerk.
M?chten Sie das Programm installieren und ausf?hren: {1}
Signiert und in Umlauf gebracht von: {2}
THE SOLUTION:
The problem is: If the value starts with {x} (in this case {0})
it will not be
displayed and WebStart will hang (produce an error).
I hope this is a WebStart error an no Error in the class
java.util.PropertyResourceBundle!?
I tested to add the text 'Die' in front of the value (Die {0}
forderte...) and
WebStart worked fine and started!!!!
Hope this will help to fix the error a soon as possible because
we use JavaWS in
production and 1.0.1 is still a great solution for us!
Thanks and hope I could help u.
At this time you also could also remove the javaws-l10n.jar from JavaWebStart folder to grant JavaWebStart will be launched in English.
