Jarsigner and Timestamp

[Jay Canale]

Hello,
I have just received my Digital ID certificate from Verisign and I am
trying to figure out how to timestamp my jar file using the JRE 1.5
jarsigner. Using the info from their website my command line looks like
this......

c:\\jdk1.5.0_01\bin\ jarsigner -tsa http://example.tsa.url MyJAR.jar
MyCert.cer

What I get is an java.net.UnknowHostException.

Has anyone gotten this to work yet??

Not me ;-)

But I seem to recall that Roedy Green has a lot of detailed information
about jar signing at his website. This is just one page that discusses the
topics; he's got all kinds of links to different aspects of the subject.

I haven't used this, but have you considered the possibility that
the reason is that example.tsa.url is not a valid hostname? Or is it
known to your DNS server?

Yes, I am aware of this. My thought was that someone might know of the TSA
site. The new jarsigner is in beta.
