Any help is greatly appreciated.

I 'd like to know why we need to sign the applets with certificates when we can use policy files that restricts sites.


In the following case I trust all the applets from xyz.com (say my company). Should i be signing the applets into jars? Plz clear my doubt.


grant codeBase "http://xyz.com:8080/applets/*" {

permission java.security.AllPermission;

};


Thanks in advance.
