| I mean when there is a new instalation (in this case java 1.6) , the new
keystore must have a
temporary password, or none, to start with?

I still do not understand what you are asking.
Note though, that I have *never* had to edit *any*
policy files (by hand, in any case), despite
deploying many projects which had signed code,
and requested permission for release from a
restricted sandbox.
What is it exactly, that you are trying to achieve by
editing policy files?

I am trying to understand how java works. Somec people try to understand the
JVM bytes, my goal is more humble.
You seem to point me on the fact that everything is automatic; it was not
with previous JDK for the signing question.
I will try again ;-)
Lets forget the tree other cacerts that are in the jdk and jre.
These 2 seems to be the ones used for the web.
C:\Documents and Settings\Jean Pierre\Application
Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\security\truste
d.certs"
C:\Documents and Settings\Jean Pierre\Application
Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\security\deploy
ment.certs"
It seems there is no password for a keystore on installation. I could create
one.
It seems the keystore used ( by the system) to store new accepted
certificates while I am browsing the web is the trusted.certs keystore.
I think ... hum ... that the deployment.certs is the one used by the system
when I sign an application.
I hope it is clearer.

| Another thing, suppose I modify my jnlp file and want to check it. Wwithout
deleting the sored trust certificate, webstart wont prompt for security
acceptance.

For that, I would usually call
javaws -uninstall xyz.jnlp
(from the command line, or an Ant file, or using
the Java Control Panel)...

...which uninstalls the application, and removes any 'trust' -
or at least any short of the user did selecting 'always trust').

The trusted.certs file is created automatically when an applet ask a
permission in
the browser for example. If you delete it, another one will be created.
