Java 7 update 51 - Prompts user confirmation message about Publisher name every time

Java 7 update 51 : My application is java web start kind, in which we have addressed all the security measure in jar, JNLP files and signed the jar files with trusted authority , but Latest update is prompting user confirmation message about Publisher name every time. Message doesn't have any check box to ignore as provided with update 45 and further, so please clarify is this a normal behavior of this update or else any step required to overcome the same.

enter image description here

****SOLUTION:****

Application-Library-Allowable-Codebase: *

this attribute resolved the check box issue in my case

I have an applet with this dialog (after updating java to 7.51)... the checkbox is shown and works for me (dialog no more showing).

Don't know if this is related to localhost? Maybe check your security switch in java configuration (mine is at high).

Edit:

I think this affects the security/dialog-behavior: I sign my applet with an official CA-certificate and update the manifests of all loaded jars (using the maven-webstart-plugin):

<updateManifestEntries>
    <Permissions>all-permissions</Permissions>
    <Codebase>*</Codebase>
    <Caller-Allowable-Codebase>*</Caller-Allowable-Codebase>
    <Trusted-Library>true</Trusted-Library>
    <Application-Name>MyApplet</Application-Name>
</updateManifestEntries>

Finally in my JNLP I add

<security>
    <all-permissions />
</security>
