Javacomm API

can someone tell me how to get java comm API because it doesnt have installer for windows?

Ref: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=17&threadID=687821
you can get the 2.0 version with the following link: http://javashoplm.sun.com/ECom/docs/Welcome.jsp?StoreId=22&PartDetailId=7235-javacomm-2.0-spec-oth-JSpec&SiteId=JSC&TransactionId=noreg

BTW, a Windows port of javax.comm is not currently offered by Sun. Among the reasons the previous edition of javax.comm for Windows was EOLed are that the Windows platform itself changed in incompatible ways, and the Windows port of javax.comm depended on an EOL'ed version of the JVM.

  • Javacomm api on win32 platform

    Has sun dropped support for the win32 platform with the Java Communications API? The only place I can find to download javacomm is at http://java.sun.com/products/javacomm/index.jsp and on that page it says "Implementations of the API are currently available for Solaris SPARC, Solaris x86, and Linux x86." and there is no download for a win32 platform. What happened? How can I get javacomm on my windows system?

    javax.comm 3.0 has replace javax.comm 2.0:
    Sun is no longer offering the 2.0 release of javax.comm, since 3.0 Update1
    contains important bug fixes allowing to better support it..
    javax.comm 3.x offers new conveniences for the the user, as well as
    improvements to the portmapping architecture and support for our
    Sun Ray thin client platform, with no change to the core API or functionality.
    Among the features available with javax.comm 3.0 is an interactive serial
    port tool, which is helpful in basic diagnosis of serial port connectivity.
    Javax.comm for Windows have been EOLed:
    A Windows port of javax.comm is not currently offered by Sun. There has
    not been sufficient demand to justify supporting javax.comm on Windows,
    particularly considering that javax.comm for Windows is available from
    other sources, such as http://www.rxtx.org.
    The Windows build of javax.comm previously posted on Sun's Software
    Download Center was finally pulled because support has not been offered
    for years, nor has the code been built or tested for that long. Further, the
    JVM the Windows port was built on was long ago EOLed, and, finally , here
    were reportedly incompatible change in the Windows platform itself.
    Java Community Process:
    As with any Java extension API, the community is free to implement it on
    any platform and make it available along with the proper disclaimers.
    Certification of a platform port is available for most javax extension APIs
    through the Java Community Process (http://www.jcp.org) by passing a
    compatability test, among other things, but since javax.comm was created
    prior to the Java Community Process, certification may not be a tennable
    option and probably won't be an issue for most users.

  • API javacomm and ASCII

    Hi,
    I use the JAVACOMM API and I know how to read/write data on the serial port RS232. I would like to send command in ASCII to my robot.
    I don't understand how to send ASCII command.
    If I want to send <ACK> <CR> <LF> : I must send out.print("ACK CR LF") or
    out.print(006 013 010) with the ascii code ??????
    Thank you very much if someone can help me.
    Best regards.

    J.PONS.

    out.println("ACK CR LF") will print the string "ACK CR LF",
    I think you're looking for something more like
    out.writeChar(6); if you're using dataOutputStreams for example. This should write the unicode character 6 which should be ACK
    either that or out.print((char)6); should probably do it if you're using some other kind of print stream...I'm not even sure you need to cast that.
    Hope this helps, good luck with the robot, sounds cool!

  • Communication API for Linux

    I want to develop an application in Java for Linux that uses serial port .
    But java.sun.com provides communications API for Windows, Solaris but not Linux ! ! !
    Where can I find free java api to drive a serial port easily ???
    Thanks a lot

    I think you can do this using the version for Solaris/SPARC along with RXTX for Linux (do a search on google), also I think IBM did a JavaCOMM api for linux.

  • Java API for webcams and Electrical Engineering

    Hi,
    Does anyone know of and API's that allow access to:
    - Webcams, so that you are able to monitor a webcam and access the images etc etc
    - Electronic circuit boards, e.g. monitor hardware, such as a processing plant whereby you can monitor output, input etc
    Basically a java interface to hardware, i looked at the javacomm api, but this only allows basic functionality as far as i am aware.
    Essentially, i need to monitor production faciltiies interfacing to a java environment so that hardware can be controlled and monitored.
    Any suggestions people ?
    Thanks

    The Java Twain API from http://www.gnome.sk is designed to connect to a camera (or scanner) directly from the java application. You can comunicate with the camera, snap images, save them, ...
    If you just want to see how Java Twain works:
    - java (1.2 or higher) has to be installed on your computer
    - a scanner or camera has to be installed on your computer
    - download the trial package from http://www.gnome.sk
    - unzipp it
    - go to the examples directory of the unzipped package
    - doubleclick the runExampleShow.bat (for Windows) or runExampleShow.sh (for MacOS) file
    This will pop up the Twain Source Selection user interface. There, all your scanners and cameras which do have a twain driver should be listed. Select one of them. The user interface of the selected scanner (camera) will appear. Confirm the scanning (you can set the scanning parameters first). The scanned image will be displayed in a separate window. To end the application, close that window.
    Running different examples, you can test scanning with hidden UI, saving the scanned image, using ADF, ...
    If there are any problems, inquire at the technical support [email protected], I am a member :)

  • JavaComm Problem - PortInUse

    Hi all,
    I've got some troubles using the JavaComm API. I'm accessing a hardware device connected with USB. A virtual port is provided which can be accessed identically as a serial port. Communication works fine. However, when I break the connection (by separating the plug from the port), I get an Error "Port currently owned by Unknown Windows Application" next time I'd like to establish a connection. Even if I close my application the port isn't released and a reboot is necessary.
    Does anyone has an idea? Thanks in advance!

    i have a similar problem but only when using a usb-serial convertor cable. when i close the port - the operating system does not release the com port. next time i try to connect i get the PortInUse exception. did you manage to solve this problem?

  • Javacomm

    Hello
    I'm trialing javacomm api under Windows 2000. The method getPortIdentifiers() returns nothing.
    Please help.

    1. When installing the product, if you are using Java 1.2 or later, make sure you follow the instructions in the file jdk1.2.html and not the ones in Readme.html.
    2. Also make sure you install the files into the location used by the JRE as well as the JDK.
    3. Check your hardware to make sure that you actually do have some serial ports enabled.

  • Sending characters to the printer

    Hello together,
    we are trying to send raw data or control characters to a printer using the standard "Universal / TextOnly" printer driver in order to print barcode data on a special printer. This works fine by using Windows Notepad.
    Unfortunately, Java only provides printing with a Graphics context. So we have not succeeded so far.
    Has anyone else had the same problem and how did they overcome it?

    Hi again.
    This is distilled from the JavaCOMM API.
    This code is changed from the example and looking at the docs for a minute. I don't know if it compiles but it should :-)
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import javax.comm.*;
    public class SimpleWrite {
        static Enumeration portList;
        static CommPortIdentifier portId;
        static String messageString = "Hello, world!\n";
        static ParallelPort parallelPort;
        static OutputStream outputStream;
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            portList = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifiers();
            while (portList.hasMoreElements()) {
                portId = (CommPortIdentifier) portList.nextElement();
                if (portId.getPortType() == CommPortIdentifier.PORT_PARALLEL) {
                    // if (portId.getName().equals("LPT1")) {
                    if (portId.getName().equals("/dev/lp0")) {
                        try {
                            parallelPort= ParallelPort
                                portId.open("SimpleWriteApp", 2000);
                        } catch (PortInUseException e) {}
                        try {
                            outputStream = parallelPort.getOutputStream();
                        } catch (IOException e) {}
                        try {
                            outputStream.write(messageString.getBytes());
                        } catch (IOException e) {}
    }Hope this helps,

  • USB Port support?

    Hi,
    There is JavaComm API for Serial and Parallel Port in Java.
    What about the USB Port? How Can communicate through USB Port?
    plz, suggest me the sides, code
    Thanks

    I believe there is a JSR called Java for USB API or IBM has a Java API for USB or a package called javax.usb....something like that !

  • Driver Objects?

    Are there objects in Java that are USB, serial, and parrallel port controllers?
    Thanks

    There's the JavaComm API for parallel and serial ports.
    There's the JUSB project over at SourceForge. And the upcoming(?) JSR-80 might mean support for USB devices might appear in the JRE in the future.

  • Autoinstallation Applet won't work without a refresh

    Ahoy - I have completed an applet that finds the java home directory and installs the three javacomm API files (if they do not exist). After writing these three files, it redirects the browser to a webpage with another applet, this second applet being one that uses javacomm.
    The autoinstallation works perfectly (on my computer at least ;-) in that the files install where they are supposed to. But upon redirection, the second applet still insists that the javacomm classes don't exist, and so it will not initialize.
    If I close down all my browser windows and open this applet back up, everything is happy again - it loads with no problems and performs as expected.
    But I would realllly not like to have to write a disclaimer at the bottom of my web page: "If this does not load, please close down all your browser windows and try again."
    Any idea why this is happening?

    Thanks bsamp and DrClap.
    I think it's more likely to be that the browser's JVM has already identified >everything in the extensions directory (which is where you install javax.comm, >correct?) and it doesn't react to new jars in that directoryThat makes sense =) It doesn't make happy sense, but it makes sense =\
    If I can't find a way to make the JVM take another look, then I guess I could live with a one-time required restart for each computer (though it might not go over well =P)
    I didn't have to call Regsvr when I installed it either...mm, I will see if I can find anything about making the JVM reload extensions (I agree with your assessment of my sanity, Doctor Clap).

  • Error: native VM not supported

    Hi
    I have just run the blackbox application in the javacomms API download:
    1) I invoked it using the prescribed command java -native blackbox to which I got the error native VM not supported.
    2) I then ran it again without the -native switch and got the error Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: blackbox.
    Can anyone help please? Is there something I have not installed correctly? I am using Windows XP professional service pack 1.
    Thanks
    Chris Wilson

    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundErrorThat always means that either your classpath is wrong or that isn't the name of the class.

  • Connecting to a handfree device Motorola T215

    I am trying to connect an Iphone 4S to Motorola T215 by bluetooth and it will not connect.  The iphone syas it sees the Motorla T215 as an available device but when I follow the Motorola manual's advice as to the password to put into the cell phone ithe Iphone tells me that it cannot connect. 
    Any thoughts or experience with this?

    I don't have any sample code, but if you have bluetooth software on your computer, you can setup the serial port profile between your computer and cellphone, and treat your cellphone as a normal modem.
    You can then look at the javacomms api, which should help you.
