how to sign a jar which contain another jar files

I want to sign a jar file that are containing another jar files and some class files. Actually I know how to sign a jar file and I did it but here I have an applet file in which I used HttpClient of apache but when I run it from browser it gives an error org.apache.commons.httpclient methods are not found. So what should I do? When I run this applet on applet viewer it runs but from browser it can't. Please help me.

If you need to execute only signed code you should not include JAR files into your applet - instead you should include only the class files from the Jar-to-be-included into your applet.

If you sign the code afterwards also the class files from the jar are getting signed and therefore should be usable from within your applet.

I think the following steps should help:

  • Sign all jar files you are using in your project

  • Make sure all library jar files are included to the final app jar file

    main jar manifest file should contain Class-Path key with relative path to jar files, included to the main jar file.

  • When main application is built sign the main app jar file
