Java Web Start security warning alternative

Question

I have a shell script that automates a bunch of things. One of the things it needs to do is run a javaws script. Right now it runs as follows in the shell script:

javaws /tmp/jnlpgenerator-cli

This causes the security warning to pop up which says :

The website certificate cannot be verified. Do you want to continue?

This shell script is part of an automation tool, so what can be done to modify the above command so that no user interaction is needed?
