No, the API that is not supported is specifically

Class.getSigners()

which is a single method call in the Class class in JDK 1.x.

It is also true that the browser companies don't yet support Java
digital signatures, but they have publically said they will support
Java signatures. I am not aware of any announced dates, however.
