"Class No Found" error when running signed applet

Question

I have a self signed applet that works correctly (except there is a security warning). To remove the warning, I bought a go daddy signing cert and signed the jar with this cert.

Now I get a "class not found" error when trying to run the applet from the browser.

help!!!

Answer 1

First check that browser can download the jar. Type the direct URL to jar file into your browser:

http://www.yourserver.com/yourapplet.jar

If you can download the jar and it is identical to your jar, check the jar itself. Type in command line:

jar vft yourapplet.jar

and see output. You should be able to find your class
