[Ahmed Moustafa]

How could a Java Web Start code be signed? And what is the difference

Thanks a lot for your help!

see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jarsigner.html

digital signing, keytool, signed Applets,
java web start.

THe code is identical. It is just the jar has extra elements that
make it possible to determine who wrote the code and if it has been
tampered with.
