I have a fully signed Java webstart application and it has been deployed live for over a year now. For some reason, we could never get it to work with Safari. In fact, I could not get the JAWS application working with Safari.
Internet searches are spotty, and I cannot understand why Safari has problems with web startup.
EDIT
Here is a java stack trace from the Java console in Safari. Please understand that the Java Web Start application works correctly, without any problems in Firefox, IE, Chrome, etc.
