self signed docx4j jars not working

[sarad]

Hi,
I have standalone Javafx application using docx4j 2.8.0.
In a normal application execution (not as an administator) docx4j related stuff doesn't work when I use the self signed docx4j and its dependent jars ,though it doesn't give any exception either. I am using netbeans for self signing of the jars.

However, when I run the application as administrator then everything related with docx4j just works fine.
A lot of my target users may not have the administrator privilage in their win7 box so I have to make it work for them as well.

Also we don't have any keystore for now. So , I have to make it work with self signed generated key.

I hope this is just jar security issue. How can I fix this.

Thanks

Yes, sounds like somewhere in your app there is a permissions issue. Can you run it in a debugger?

docx4all uses JavaFX (1.0) and signed jar files. For what it is worth, its build.xml contains:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Show ]
