Name: gm110360			Date: 09/10/2003


FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-b28)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-b28, mixed mode)

FULL OS VERSION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
This is the same as 4739089. It appears that this bug is back again in 1.4.2.

I signed a jar file with 1.4.2 and put it onto a web server. Then I tried to start it with my jnlp-file.

jarsigner -verify told me that the jar-file is ok.


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Create a application.
Create a jar containing the files.
Sign the jar-file.
Create a JNLP-File to start the application
Put the jar file and the JNLP-file onto a web server.
Try to start the application with web start.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The application should start.
ACTUAL -
Web Start dows not start the application

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
