Java Web Start

[Marcus Beyer]

Users of my Web Start Application want to access the System Clipboard.
So it seems I have to use the "ClipboardService".
Nice to have this "don't ask me again" on the security dialog,
but Web Start forgets this the next time the Application is started

What can I do? A Developer Certificate for Signed Jars seems to be
overkill, because all users but one work in the room next door.

So I tried to modify javaws.policy, although I can't find any
documentation on that. Is there any?

I have no success until now. Isn't the javaws.policy read by default?

You don't need it. Roedy Green offers a root
certificate to which you can link*.

My own JWS app (PhySci) uses a self-signed
certificate - once accepted by the user and
installed it has full access.

You might also investigate keytool and
certificates further with..

http://mindprod.com/jgloss/certificate.html

* Or at least he did, I couldn't find reference to it just then..

that is just a certificate for apps I wrote. It won't do you any
good. It is just the public part of my phony self-signed certificate.


You can create your own following the instructions in the various
security entries such as
