A correction about this...
Downloads from the long URL (.../__JWSappclient/...) actually use files in the domain's java-web-start/... directory tree. These are signed versions of the original files from the modules directory (or, in a few cases, other directories).
In fact, when I try to use the jar command to list the contents of the signed orb-iiop.jar file, the jar command fails with an "error opening zip file" exception.
So this seems not to be a Grizzly problem at all.
I apologize for the false alarm. I need to find out why the signed JAR is incorrect.
