It will definitely be interesting to hear more about what Zimbra's doing and to try it out.

This is definitely outside of the sandbox. I don't know the details of how Zimbra does it, but I think the only way to do this is to sign derby.jar with a valid certificate and the user has to press [OK] to give you access. Either that or they have you download it separately. It would be interesting to find out exactly what they do there.

Can't wait to read more from Kevin about how the technical details. Thanks, Steve, very cool. Can’t wait to read more from Kevin about how the technical details.
