Need API for Java communicating with RS232

Dear All,
I am a newbie to Java. I have a sensor connected to a microcontroller, and this microcontroller is also connected to a PC through the RS232 (COM 1). I have installed the Java Communications API "Javax.comm" on my PC and was able to run the "BlackBox" sample program. What I require is a simple Java program that will read and show the bytes comming through the COM1 port. If anyone has done anything similar or has an idea of how to go about it, could they please send me some example code, I would be very grateful. Or if anyone knows about any website with such similar examples i would be very grateful.
Thank you very much.

How to always enable Java 6 with Firefox 18

I implemented Firefox 15 with Java 1.6.0.35-b10 to be used with a particular Vendor's website. The site has no internet except for accessing this vendor's website. Several weeks ago Firefox 15 updated itself to Firefox 18 and blocklisted Java 6. I was able to unblock it, but now each time the users log into the vendor's website, Firefox prompts the user to activate Java 6. My users are nagging me to turn this activate screen off but i cannot figure out how to permanently activate Java 6 on each of these machines. The vendor is not willing to upgrade to Java 7. I have tested Java 7 with the vendor's site and of course it doesn't load. Consequently, I cannot get this machine to roll back to Java 6. Once they activate Java 6 they can use the website. I could switch back to IE8 and use Java 6 with no problem, except that IE8 has a flaw in it. I have read that I cannot install IE9 on Windows XP pro, so I am stuck with Firefox. Windows XP Pro SP3, Firefox 18, and Java 6.

Hi there,
This article walks you through how to enable Java again -- note that we don't recommend this due to the many security risks (this week new threats were revealed again): [[How to use Java if it's been blocked]]
Hope this helps!

Communicating with firefox

Hi,
I hope this is the right place to ask this, I couldn't find a more specific forum to post this question and went with the most generic one.
I want to make a java application which will be able to communicate with a firefox extension.
The two should not be depended on each other, but when both are running they will be able to find and communicate with the other.
I'm searching and reading anything I can find on the subject and I got confused as for what is the way to do this.
Should I use LiveConnect or create a XPCOM in java?
Thanks, Nitzan

Hey Ben,
Thanks for taking the time to reply!
I think that you are right about the LiveConnect, and from the start I had my doubts about that being useful in my case.
As for the XPCOM, yes, it can be used to embed firefox in a java application but that's just one of the things you can do with it... from the JavaXPCOM page:
JavaXPCOM allows for communication between Java and XPCOM, such that a Java application can access XPCOM objects, and XPCOM can access any Java class that implements an XPCOM interface. With JavaXPCOM, a developer can talk to XPCOM or embed Gecko from a Java application. ( [MDC: JavaXPCOM|https://developer.mozilla.org/En/JavaXPCOM] )
That seems exactly like what I need! the problem is that the page was last updated in 2006 and the examples in 2007 (or something like that), not only it's old but also very poorly documented and explained.
I'm currently in the process of reading the [Creating XPCOM Components|https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Creating_XPCOM_Components] book, which is a tutorial on how to write XPCOM in C++, but the transformation between that and java is not that simple, for me at least..
I thought that maybe someone already faced this issue.
Thanks, Nitzan.

Mac Java Compatibility with Firefox 4

I am running Mac OS, with the new firefox 4 I am not getting access to my CCTV server anymore, while the older firefox runs smoothly, the version 4 firefox keeps on asking to install the plugins "Java", but Mac has its own java. Maybe it need to be compatible with the Mac Java plugins, and another thing is the version 4 of Firefox runs slower than the previous version.

i love channel hoppin on fox tv and not compatable with the new socalled better ff4 please sort it out thanks

When using Java Wizard with Firefox 3.6.23 on a Mac OS X 10.6.8 it keep getting an error message: "The Java Wizard cannot run. Please configure your browser to allow Java applets to access the filesystem." Have NO idea how to fix this problem.

When trying to upload files I received the following error: "The Java Wizard cannot run. Please configure your browser to allow Java applets to access the filesystem."

If the problem is with a site that is hosted using MOVEit DMZ by Ipswitch, please notify the site owner of the issue and ask them to apply the patch that is available on the support site to resolve the issue.
This is a better resolution than downgrading your version of Java that was updated due to security issues.

Java communication with applets

Hi, I'm new so I hope this is where I should post this question.
Basically, I want to write a java program that communicates with an applet and retrieves data from the applet. The applet is executed from secure http protocol and connects via the socket port. I know the applet is MainClassApplet.class, but I do not know any of its methods, variables, constructors, etc.
Is it possible to communicate with this applet and retrieve information from it?

The jar file is just a resource on the web server,
like the web page that it's called from. You could
use your browser to grab the jar file. Or use
something like curl.hmm.. do you know of some code or tutorial I could
look at for this?Look at the HTML source of the web page that includes the applet. From that page's URL, and the <applet> or <embed> or <object> tag that refers to the applet, figure out the URL to the jar file. Then type that URL in the location bar of your browser.
Or get "curl", which is a command-line utility that acts like a browser, and use that to get the file. Read the curl help pages.
User name and password doesn't necessarily have
anything to do with HTTPS. Is the site also using
HTTP authentication, or what? How do you know it
wants your user ID and password?Well, why would they make you pay for an account if
people could easily access their webpages? Sometimes a site will password-protect some pages but not others. And anyway, are they asking for a user name and password or aren't they?
I just
know it uses a post method in order to retrieve a
user's account name and password.. I don't think it
uses HTTP authentication.. It has 4 parameters that
it uses to execute the post method.Well, that tells me almost nothing.
Before trying to grab and reverse-engineer some functionality from a site, probably in a manner that violates whatever agreement you agreed to when you signed up for the site, you might want to learn about basic web technologies, like HTML, HTTP, etc. Then learn basic Java.

Multiple problems with Firefox 3.6.6 - Java Console, Flash, PDF & opening

running Windows XP with Firefox 3.6.6. I just upgraded to 3.6.6 & since then have been having multiple problems. 1) 3.6.6 takes a LONG time to load or hangs 2) As recommended Flash plugin updated to Flash 10.1. Subsequently Flash doesn't work. All I get when I use Firefox on any site is the F in a circle that indicates that flash is necessary to display the page. I have no problems with Flash on Google Chrome. 3) Java Console having issues. When 3.6.6 opens it says Java Console must be updated. So I update it. Then when it opens it says it's not supported & needs to be removed. Each time it wants me to restart Firefox to complete the task. If I say restart later cause I'm sick of opening & Closing again & again it pops up every 5-10 minutes & asks again. Please HELP!! 4) PDF files will not open since upgrade to 3.6.6. Having no issues with Google Chrome. It opens in miliseconds & runs everything but I prefer Firefox if it can be gotten to work right. Desperately need help.
== Upon upgrade

Please respond with a list of all of your Extensions.
-type '''about:support''' in your URL/address/location bar and press the Enter key
-click "Copy all to Clipboard"
-paste into your reply
'''1).''' Please explain "long time to load" in more detail; approximately how long? Hanging when: on startup of Firefox, during use (please list some sites/pages, if so), at shutdown?
For hanging at exit:
'''Kill Application'''
In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the '''Processes''' tab?

'''Causes and solutions for Firefox hanging at exit:'''
[[Firefox hangs]]
[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit Firefox hangs at exit]
[[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.
'''2).''' Could be caused by a Flash-blocking Extension (the reason for asking for your list of Extensions) or could be in your Firewall or AV/AS application. What Firewall and/or AV/AS applications to you use?
See: [[Firewalls]]
'''3).''' Again, the reason for asking for your Extensions. Is it Java Console or Java Deployment Toolkit in the error message. Need version numbers on both of the above. You may have some Java remnants from a prior Java version; Java does not clean-up after itself and we can help you remove some of those remnants, if you will supply the information. See:

Cannot open more than one window with Firefox

I've been having this problem for a couple of weeks, now, and I've run out of ways to try and fix this.
One day, after starting my computer up, I opened Firefox. No big deal, everything looks fine, tabs are working, etc. Then, when I went to open a second window, nothing. The first window still works fine, I can open tab upon tab, but it just won't open any more windows.
As much as I'm a fan of the browser tabs, I still prefer to have them spread out over more than one window.
I've read through a ton of different troubleshooting walkthroughs and whatnot, reinstalled three or four times, restored settings, but nothing works.
Well, not entirely, I guess. Here's the part that I can't quite figure out. When I disable every single addon, Firefox works just fine. I've done the checking down the list, trying to single one out, but it's *any* addon. Even something as simple as a dictionary search ([https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/68/]) causes this to happen.
I've checked with an older computer with an older version of Firefox, and it still seems to work fine with addons enabled, so I'm wondering if this is an update issue?
Would reverting back to a previous version of Firefox solve this, and if so, where would I be able to find downloads for a previous version?
So, like I said, I'm at a bit of a loss here. Sort of at a crossroads for trying to figure out what to try next, so I'm hoping someone a bit more knowledgeable can help steer me in a direction.
Edit: I just noticed that the posting includes system information with my question. I should clarify that I'm posting this from an older computer with an older version of Firefox. On the computer that I'm having this issue with, I'm using the newest version of Firefox (3.6.8).

Some old posts indicate the following add-ons have caused the problem of not being able to open a new window in Firefox in the past. If you have any of them you might want to disable or uninstall them to see if that is causing your problem.

Has anyone had an email virus using hotmail with firefox?

As soon as I log in to my inbox, spam emails are generated to everyone in my contact list. They all have an attachment URL , which end in .PHP. I have tried to remove the virus with norton antivirus 2011, and Avast antivirus. Niether one can find the virus doing a full system scan. I use 2 other browsers, Chrome, and Internet explorer. The spam emails are not sent in the other 2 browsers, only in firefox, both versions, 3.6 and the new 4.0 beta. If you can help remove this virus please let me know.I removed 4.o beta and went back to 3.6 which seemed to stop the spam emails, until the last 3 days, when the virus emails are sent every time I log into my inbox. I've tried removing and reinstalling after cleaning the registry, going back to 3.6 then 4.0, so far nothing has worked. I can't find much info on the internet either.
