This the the notice I received when trying to run Kojo using the web interface. I also got the same results from the code examples.

I would like to enable Kojo without creating a security hole. Any suggests would be appreciated.

With Oracle's increased focus on security, Kojo-Web (which uses a self-signed certificate) can only run under the High (or lower) Java security setting. The default security setting is Very High.

So you have two options:

Lower your Java security setting to High - by running jcontrol from the JRE/bin directory, clicking on the Security tab, and moving the Security Level slider to High. The High setting is also pretty secure - you can run self-signed apps only with the latest version of Java, and you still have to click on a security prompt before an app can run.
Use Kojo-Desktop, by downloading and then installing Kojo from http://www.kogics.net/kojo-download

Hope that helps…

Thanks for the assist.

My Java security setting was already on High so I added http://www.kogics.net/ to the Exception Site List. I get a warning but now everything on the site is working.

Thanks for the update. Looks like things have changed a little with Java 1.7.0_51. I have added instructions related to this stuff here: http://wiki.kogics.net/run-kojo-web. The Kojo-Web page also links to this page…
