Essentials for Java Card implementation

i am new at java CArd.
I would like to find out what is a good starting point for me if i want to begin using this technology. I know that I need the SDK. what else would I need? what book(s) would you reccommend? where can I find some examples and tutorials?

Have you google ? searched this forum ? Did you bother clicking the vertical menu on the left where it says "Java Card" ?
Do some homework before asking a question like that and you'll find that it's been answered over and over.

NFC for Java Card

Hi guys
I'm a new one with NFC, especially for the field that I'm investigating right now, Java Cards. Hence, would you mind to help me with the initialization? I mean what am I supposed to begin with (name of documents, materials,...)?
Any of your help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Jason

Jason,
I'm not sure what you mean by NFC integrated Java Card. Could you give me the name of the document you downloaded from Global Platform?
Java Card knows about the transport type between itself and the reader: contact (T=0, T=1 : ISO/IEC 7816) or contactless (T=CL : ISO/IEC 14443). But that is all; a Java Card applet should not know or care about the lower transport layers.
As for the relationship between GSM, UICC and NFC, have a look at the document "NFC Stepping Stones" from SIMAlliance: http://www.simalliance.org/en?t=/documentManager/sfdoc.file.supply&fileID=1308660607647

Java card implementation

I am a beginner of java card.
I want to implement JCRE on a smart card.But I don't know what I must do,what components can I get from SUN?

I am not just wanting to write a applet,I am planning to implement a JCRE on a card.
I(not only one) have used Infineon's smart card chip to develop COS(Chip Operating System).Now,I am planning to implement a JCRE on a Infineon card,but I don not know whether I can do like this.In my opinion implementation of Java card is a software system for programmers.if the smart card chip have enough resource,programmers can implement JCRE,manufacturer of chip(for example Infineon company) will mask your code into ROM just like code of COS.Could you tell me how to apply for a license from SUN or oher things about java card implementation?
Thanks a bunch,durangova.

Step by step installation for java card kit 2.2.2

can anyone help me with a complete step by step installation information for java card kit 2.2.2, i already tried to follow the instruction given in the software i download n still stuck in setting the java path. any recommendation
thanks for the help

The javacard API is for developing applets on card. Java 6 is for developing clients off-card.
yes u can use any java IDEs like netbeans or jcreator. But you will have to select the libraries within the downloaded java card kit folder for ur IDE in order to compile successfully.
try reading up the documentation and run the samples in the java card kit. thats a good place to start.

Why do we need IDE or tools for java card programming?

Hi,
I am a newbie to java card, using java card kit tools themself, we can test and burn the code into card right?
then why do we need IDE for java card, please correct me , if i am wrong,
Thanks in advance,
Sri.

Dear Sri,
We have compiler, linker etc for every language starting of from C or C++ or Java. JDK has all the tools necessary to develop and run a Java program. Similarly Java Card Development Kit has all the tools for developing and deploying a Java Card applet. But what an IDE does is too integrate all these tools and make it easier for the JavaCard programmer to develop his applets. Just like Eclipse is used for Java applet development.And not everytime the code is burned to the card. Its only during masking code is burned to the card, i.e if u can call it burning. Masking makes an applet permanent on the card.

Good Book For Java Card

Hi Friends..
I want to know what is good book for Java Card for Beginner until Advance..
and i want to know what book that you read for developing Java Card application
Give me any suggestion, please.

Just remember that this book is for JC 2.1 not 2.2.1. I have still found this book good for explaining the fundamentals of Java Card development. It just doesn't cover all of the JC 2.2.x API's.

Is there any Eclipse Pulsar and JCDE Plugin for Java Card 2.2.1?

Hi Friends..
I want to know is there any Eclipse Pulsar and JCDE Plugin that still supports for Java Card 2.2.1?
Actually, currently i use Eclipse Pulsar and JCDE Plugin but it support only for Java Card 2.2.2..
I tried to set the Java Card Preference into JCDK 2.2.1, but it couldn't be set because converter.jar isn't compatible..
Please help me regarding this..
Thanks in advance..

There is, but it's very limited.
1. Put the Library on a disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
2. Point both machines at it.
3. That's it.
But remember:
A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.
Also
Only one user can open a library at a time.

What Java compiler for Java Card development ?

What Java compiler and options should be used for Java Card development with the goal of generating correct, and (secondarily) small or/and fast code after conversion to Java Card bytecode using converter ?
In particular
- Is use of JDK 7 approved by Oracle for Java Card development? That would solve security problems associated with (the web components of the JRE of) some earlier JDK, including the latest JDK6. The JCDK 3.0.4 release notes states "+the commercial version of Java Development Kit (JDK software) version 6 Update 10 (JDK 6 Update 10) or later is required+, but that does not answer that question.
- Anyone had _bad_ experience (like incorrect or disastrous code) with the Java compiler bundled with Eclipse ? I have seen at least one case where org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.7.3.v20120119-1537.jar produced slightly more compact code than javac.
- Anyone had _bad_ experience with javac in jdk1.3 ? In an applet involving a "finally" clause, I've seen it generating more compact code than later javac (which in my test triplicated the code for the finally clause).

What Java compiler and options should be used for Java Card development with the goal of generating correct, and (secondarily) small or/and fast code after conversion to Java Card bytecode using converter ?-target -source may be required to generate compatible byte code. Depending on the CAP file converter being used debug information may also help. Remember that Java Card is a subset of the Java language (also there are short opcodes that Java doesn't have etc) so a lot of the work for optimisation is done by the converter or the JCRE. You can look at the JCA code generated to determine what works best for your applets. There are also some ways of stripping out dead code etc from JCA files (return statements after a throw etc) to reduce your code size. Most of the speed optimisations come from your code (avoiding context switches and unnecessary security/access checks).
The compactness of your Java Card binary may not be directly related to the size of your compiled Java code. It can depend on the converter you use and any optimisaitons the JCRE might try to do when the code is loaded.
- Is use of JDK 7 approved by Oracle for Java Card development? That would solve security problems associated with (the web components of the JRE of) some earlier JDK, including the latest JDK6. Java Card does not use any of the libraries from the JDK/JRE. All of the libraries are provided by the JCRE on the smartcard.
The JCDK 3.0.4 release notes states "+the commercial version of Java Development Kit (JDK software) version 6 Update 10 (JDK 6 Update 10) or later is required+, but that does not answer that question.Anything above JDK6u10 is supported. If you use Java 7 you may need to add a -source and -target flag when compiling.
- Anyone had _bad_ experience (like incorrect or disastrous code) with the Java compiler bundled with Eclipse ? I have seen at least one case where org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.7.3.v20120119-1537.jar produced slightly more compact code than javac.We generally use the Eclipse compiler as we find that we get more deterministic builds. When CAP files are sent for security review it is helpful to have the reviewer able to generate a CAP file that matches the one you sent to confirm the binary is what you say it is.
- Anyone had _bad_ experience with javac in jdk1.3 ? In an applet involving a "finally" clause, I've seen it generating more compact code than later javac (which in my test triplicated the code for the finally clause).We do not use anything less than Java 6 for compilation.

Java code coverage tool for Java Card?

Hello,
I am looking for "Java code coverage tool" that can be used for testing Java Card Applets.
Has anyone tried EMMA<http://emma.sourceforge.net/> with JCWDE, or other tools?
Any information appreciated.
ichara

JCOP Tools 3.0 for Eclipse 2.1 support code coverage with the JCOP simulations for Java Card 2.1. The newest JCOP41 simulation for Java Card 2.2.1 does not yet have this feature.
Code coverage information is shown in the Profiling view, when it is enabled in the Launch Configuration. The editor also shows colored bars next to source lines to quickly identify dead code.

plz reply me asap.

I 'm doin a project using java card with RFID
technology.Can ne one give me exact equipments for
r java card reader & writer for RFID technology?I guess with "RFID" you are referring to "contact-less javacards"?
If yes, one keyword for you is "Mifare", a industry standard for smartcards with dual interface (contact-based and contactless).

Simulator for java card

hi
i am new to java card technology...i am writing the applets in netbeans using java card plugin....the problem is i m not able to simulate the applet..it is showing build successfully, but wen i run the app it is showing nothing.....so can anyone suggest me a suitable simulator for the same....

Hi,
I assume you are after details on how to use the simulators? There are examples and documentation with the JC specifications and developer kit. Both of these are available from the Sun website [http://java.sun.com/javacard/].
If you are after details on how to develop your own, the JC specifications outline the requirements for the JCRE and JCVM that you can use to implement a simulator.
Cheers,

Perspective for Java technologies : implementing interface on late.

In Java, to implements the adapter pattern's; we have to create a new class that have a link with the adaptee class and implements the adapter interface.
class MyAdapter implements IAdapter
public MyAdapter( Adaptee a );
}or, if we need protected methods :
class MyAdapter extends implements IAdapter
public MyAdapter( Adaptee a );
}then, to call the method void foo( IAdapter i ); ;
we have to do xxx.foo( new MyAdapter( adaptee ) );it could be simpler if java allowed to implement interfaces after defining the java class.
public class Adaptee
}and then, in another file, something like,
implementation of IAdapter for class Adaptee
}would be equivalent to
public class Adaptee implements IAdapter
}The advantage of the first method is that you can adapt very easy external classes from external jar file.
thank's for coments.

An interface is a contract which tells the compiler
that a class that implements it implements a set of
method signature which perform certain actions.That's right, but my idea is not to change the interface, but to change the external class, making it implements the existing interface.
If you overlay an interface on someone else's class,
the signature match (if there is one) could happen by
coincidence. There's no guarantee that a method with
a signature that matches one in your interface
actually has the same function.I didn't say that an external class should be viewed as an interface without a specific implementation of this interface for the external class. But, instead of making a new class extending the first and implementing the interface, just define a specific implementation of the interface for this class, as if it was make at class declaration.

Book For Java Card

Hello,
I need to learn Java Card technology and need a book to buy, can you suggest me any good book about it? What i saw at amazon they have really old books. Which of them would you suggest me?

I was lucky enough to meet Zhiqun Chen and speak to her. Her book was the starting point I had for learning Java Card. It is still quite relevant today as well even though it targets JC 2.1.1. You can use this to get a solid understanding of Java Card and then look at the JCDK documentation for newer versions to see what API's there are etc.
