Security applet signed for Java 1.6 security policy
The ArtistScope Java security applet code signing has been revised to resolve
an anomaly reported by Firefox users who have updated to Java 1.6. Java
1.6 introduced severe security policy changes that affected Firefox web
browsers. While most other web browsers were not affected, Firefox better
conforms to web policy and refused to support the event.
The anomaly had been unexplained for some time with Sun Java blaming Firefox while Firefox was blaming Sun. Java developers
around the world have been affected by the new security changes which has
transformed their applications which were once "run anywhere" to applications
that no longer run at all.
To finally resolve the issue, the resource files used by a visitor's web
browser have reverted back to jar format and are code signed.
Only Firefox browsers were affected by the change.
