Deploying Java Client

The following are the files for deploying different ArcotID PKI Java applets:

• ArcotApplet.jar.pack.gz

  Signed and packed applet

• ArcotApplet.jar

  Signed, unpacked applet

• ArcotAppletRaw.jar.pack.gz

  Unsigned and packed applet

• ArcotAppletRaw.jar

  Unsigned, unpacked applet

Perform the following steps to deploy these files:

1. Copy the above files in a directory anywhere on the Web server or application server.
2. Deploy the Pack200Servlet.class function that is supplied with the ArcotID PKI Client distribution package on the server where JARs are deployed.
3. Update the web.xml file of the Web application to redirect the applet request URLS to the servlet.

   The servlet analyses these requests, and based on the requesting client capabilities serves out either the packed jar or the unpacked jar.
