puts "Enter your name"
name = gets
length = name.length - 1

print "Your name is "
print length
print " characters long."

# ok, so remember what we talked about with .chomp - whenever you use gets, you'll get the extra newline character on the end,
# (\n) - so chomp will remove that. That's why you have to subtract 1 to get the right length, so we can revise the code to the following

The signing implementation
The SignImp class isn’t much different from all the examples we’ve written before. When I write 
Servlets that involve the use of iText, I always start by writing a short standalone application with a 
main() method. This way I can test the code before integrating it into a web application.
In code sample 4.11, I’ve removed the main() method for brevity.
Code sample 4.11: the SignImp class
public class SignImp {
 private PrivateKey pk;
 private Certificate[] chain;
 public SignImp(PrivateKey pk, Certificate[] chain) {
