Java applications can be deployed via the Internet using Web Start. Web Start manages the installation and execution of applications. A self-contained Java application can be run without any further prerequisites besides its JAR and the Web Start deployment descriptor, the JNLP-file. However if you want advanced rights on the executing computer, you need to sign your application before you can deploy it. This article describes how you can sign your Web Start enabled application using a free, trusted certificate.
