title: How to select a Java Code signing Certificate Authority?
body: <p>I am having one Java web start application which is self signed which shows security warning that a trusted certificate is missing each time it is accessed by the users.</p>
  
  <p>Following is the details of my Java web start application.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Application uses Java web-start technology which communicates with the Servlets running on Tomcat7.</li>
  <li>DB is SQL Server 2012.</li>
  <li>Server Machine: Windows 64 bit 2008 R2 Enterprise Server.</li>
  <li>Java 7 update 25 64 bit</li>
  <li>All the files(JNLP, jarfiles) needed for the JWS-app and the Web-app is packed as a single war file and deployed to Tomcat7.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>So I am planning to get a digital certificate for it. I found the prices listed in the below mentioned URL:
  <a href="https://www.thesslstore.com/products/code-signing-certificates.aspx" rel="nofollow">https://www.thesslstore.com/products/code-signing-certificates.aspx</a>
  There is a huge difference in price between the high price compared to the low price. So I am confused which I should prefer because I am unaware of the difference in certificating authorities.</p>
  
  <p>If I can get an idea about the pros and cons of certificate / certificating authorities then I might be able to choose the best one for me.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance... </p>
