on winnt 4.0

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0-C, mixed mode)

When trying to sign a jar file which contains a specific class file, the
signing completes without any message, but when i do a jarsigner -verify
it fails with the following message :
d:/jdk/jdk1.3/bin/jarsigner -verify d:/slegge/dev/signedjars/alftest.jar
jarsigner: java.io.IOException: invalid manifest format

I've tried the same thing on both windows nt 4.0 and linux redhat 6.2, and it's
the same problem.

I sign using a certificate from Verisign. The certificate is of type pkcs12.
I have also tried with a dummy, self signed certificate made by myself. Same
problem.

Since the class name and it's package name is quite long, I suspected that to
be the problem. But other classes with longer names works fine.

When compiling the following class (BusinessRules),
javac -d /classes/ ExtMaterial_sample_property_valueBusinessRules.java
and making a jar file in the classes directory :
jar -cvf sign_not_ok.jar com/ , it's NOT possible to sign the jar file.

When compiling the following class (ConsistencyCheck),
javac -d /classes/ ExtMaterial_sample_property_valueConsistencyCheck.java
and making a jar file in the classes directory :
jar -cvf sign_ok.jar com/ , it's possible to sign the jar file.


The source code for the class which it's impossible to sign
package com.pgs.dm.slegge.server.dataaccess.special.rca.material_sample_property_value;
public class ExtMaterial_sample_property_valueBusinessRules
{
}

The source code for the class which it's possible to sign
package com.pgs.dm.slegge.server.dataaccess.special.rca.material_sample_property_value;
public class ExtMaterial_sample_property_valueConsistencyCheck
{
}
