I am having a problem when deploy my application using Java Web Start with JAAS. The application runs fine in command mode. I signed all the jar files and when Web Start lunches the application, I get the following error:

An error occurred while launching/running the application.

Based on the JWS Forums, loading auth.conf problem should have been fixed in JDK 1.4. I am using JBoss 3.0.

Have anyone been able to get JWS to work when JAAS is in plcae?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
