Webstart permission verification

Post by gunn » Sat 7. Mar 2009, 12:23

jReality webstarts by default run with full permissions. This requires that the user give permission, and this occurs in a pop-up window when the webstart starts up. Fine and good. Is there any way, however, to give this permission once and for all, so that this popup window doesn't popup everytime? I'm asking because JOGL has a similar permission situation, (or at least used to) but it doesn't continually ask each time. Would using the jReality extension rather than the jReality.jar solve this problem?

Also, is there any way to modify the certificate so the rather than referring to "the Visualization group", the popup windows shows something more informative, like "the TU Berlin Institute of Mathematics Visualization Group" ? It would inspire more confidence.

1. Question: For me this does not happen, as far as I remember I once checked "Trust visualization group" or similar and that's it. Maybe using an extension would also help, because javaws might remember permissions for each extension.

2. Question: The certificate we use contains all the information (Organization etc.) where it should, but the display of javaws is quite stupid. And I do not want to replace the certificate just to double the information which is already contained. Maybe ask Sun why they render it in such a dumb way.
