using jarsigner

[RichieMac]

Hi all,

I've been trying to sign a jar file so i can build an applet that reads files from a local (for now) filesystem. I've created the .jar and have tried the following:

keytool -genkey -alias TestApplet -validity 365
jarsigner TestApplet.jar TestApplet[/color red]

but I get the following error:

jarsigner: attempt to rename TestApplet.jar to TestApplet.jar.orig failed[/color red]

Could anyone out there point me in the right direction cause me lost.

What OS are you running ?

Sounds like a permissions issue ...

Or maybe the file is in use

Yeah sorted now. I had to set my classpath to the directory that the file was in. Seems to working fine now so this must have been the problem.

Cheers guys
