Javax.smartcardio problems...

HI, i am trying to develop a simple applet in java, which should read data from a smartcard...
But when i want to read the terminals:
CardTerminal terminal = (CardTerminal)factory.terminals().get(0);
the full method:
CardTerminal terminal = (CardTerminal)factory.terminals().get(0);
try {
               terminal.waitForCardPresent(15000);
     if(terminal.isCardPresent())
     System.out.println("Card Inserted!!");
     else
     System.out.println("TimeOut reached!!");
          } catch (CardException e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e.printStackTrace();
an error occoures because factory.terminals() is empty.
Do you have any idea how to get the terminal list?

Hi!
Are you running Windows or Linux? If you're using Windows, you shouldn't have any problem. But if it's Linux, you should download pcsc-lite and ccid. Try to google for these packages.
See ya! ;)

Problem with APDUCommand in javax.smartcardio

Hi,
There seem to be a bug (from my point of view) with the javax.smartcardio when i attempt to send a command over to the card.
There a code frag
factory = TerminalFactory.getDefault();
        try {
            terminals = factory.terminals().list();
            System.out.println("Terminals: " + terminals);
            terminal = terminals.get(1);
            System.out.println("Card Present: " + terminal.isCardPresent());
            Card card = terminal.connect("*");
            channel = card.getBasicChannel();
            ResponseAPDU resp = channel.transmit(new CommandAPDU(selectcom));
            System.out.println("Select Resp: " + getHexString(resp.getBytes()));
            CommandAPDU com = new CommandAPDU((byte)0x43, (byte)0x52, (byte)0x00, (byte)0x00, 0);
            System.out.println("CommandAPDU: " + getHexString(com.getBytes()));
            resp = channel.transmit(com);
            System.out.println("Result: " + getHexString(resp.getBytes()));
            card.disconnect(false);
        } catch (CardException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }There the result:
Terminals: [PC/SC terminal OMNIKEY CardMan 5x21 0, PC/SC terminal OMNIKEY CardMan 5x21-CL 0]
Card Present: true
Select Resp: 90 00
CommandAPDU: 43 52 00 00
Result: 6E 00
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 1 second)
And there the result i tried with another tool (GPShell)
select -AID 53504545454659503101
--> 00A404000A53504545454659503101
<-- 9000
send_apdu -sc 0 -APDU 43520000
Send APDU: 43 52 00 00
--> 43520000
<-- 9000
Recv APDU: 90 00
card_disconnect
release_context
Anyone have encounter the same problem?

Refering to this code:
factory = TerminalFactory.getDefault();
        try {
            terminals = factory.terminals().list();
            System.out.println("Terminals: " + terminals);
            terminal = terminals.get(1);
            System.out.println("Card Present: " + terminal.isCardPresent());
            Card card = terminal.connect("*");
            channel = card.getBasicChannel();
            ResponseAPDU resp = channel.transmit(new CommandAPDU(selectcom));
            System.out.println("Select Resp: " + getHexString(resp.getBytes()));
            CommandAPDU com = new CommandAPDU((byte)0x43, (byte)0x52, (byte)0x00, (byte)0x00, 0);
            System.out.println("CommandAPDU: " + getHexString(com.getBytes()));
            resp = channel.transmit(com);
            System.out.println("Result: " + getHexString(resp.getBytes()));
            card.disconnect(false);
        } catch (CardException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }ResponseAPDU resp = channel.transmit(new CommandAPDU(selectcom));
I already selected the applet here.
With this command here
static byte[] selectcom = new byte[] {(byte)0x00, (byte)0xA4, (byte)0x04, (byte)0x00, (byte)0x0A, (byte)0x53, (byte)0x50, (byte)0x45, (byte)0x45, (byte)0x45, (byte)0x46, (byte)0x59, (byte)0x50, (byte)0x31, (byte)0x01};
So selecting the applet is done. And it return a 90 00. Then i start to send applet specific command.

Help me - I have a problem of using the javax.smartcardio

Hi everybody!!!
I'm creating an application to communicate with javacard.
I searched on internet and know about javax.smartcardio.
But I can not use it, even it's inside the default library of Java 6.
I already import the javax.smartcardio.*; to my java file.
But it can not find the class inside this package.
Can somebody help me? Thanks a lot.

Hi everybody.
I got the advice from Mr. Safarmer on this forum.
So:
If you're using Eclipse to develop the application.
You have to set the JRE Library to Alternate JRE.
Below is the instruction for dummies like me ^^:
Go to Build Path > Configure Buil Path of your project
In Libraries tab, Edit the JRE System Library
Instead of choosing the Execution Environment, we choose Alternate JRE (usually jre6)--> This is my case. And i did it.

Java 6: javax.smartcardio - can't get CPLC

Hello! I have a problem - can't get CPLC with classes from javax.smartcardio (get SW=6a88), but I easily get it with com.sun.javacard.apduio classes from Java Card Kit 2.2.2.
Here the test code for javax.smartcardio :
import java.util.List;
import javax.smartcardio.*;
public class TestSmartCardJSE60
public static void main(String[] args)
try
   TerminalFactory tf = TerminalFactory.getInstance("PC/SC", null);
   CardTerminals cts = tf.terminals();
   List<CardTerminal> avaiableTerminals = cts.list();
   CardTerminal ct = avaiableTerminals.get(0);
   Card card = ct.connect("*");
   try
    CardChannel channel = card.getBasicChannel();
    CommandAPDU capdu = new CommandAPDU(0x80, 0xCA, 0x9F, 0x7F);
    ResponseAPDU res = channel.transmit(capdu);
    System.out.printf("%s%n", res);
   finally
    card.disconnect(true);
catch(Exception e)
   e.printStackTrace();
}And here the same for com.sun.javacard.apduio
import com.sun.javacard.apduio.*;
public class TestSmartCardJCK222
public static void main(String[] args)
try
   CadClientInterface cad = CadDevice.getPCSCClientInstance(0);
   cad.powerUp();
   try
    Apdu capdu = new Apdu();
    capdu.command[Apdu.CLA] = (byte) 0x80;
    capdu.command[Apdu.INS] = (byte) 0xCA;
    capdu.command[Apdu.P1] = (byte) 0x9F;
    capdu.command[Apdu.P2] = 0x7F;
    cad.exchangeApdu(capdu);
    System.out.printf("%s%n", capdu);
    capdu.setLe(0x2D);
    cad.exchangeApdu(capdu);
    System.out.printf("%s%n", capdu);
   finally
    cad.powerDown(true);
catch(Exception e)
   e.printStackTrace();
}I run both tests under WindowsXP SP3 with ORGA ECO5000 Usb and JCOP21 smart card.
What is my problem? Actualy I want to use javax.smartcardio for my application, because classes from that package more useful than com.sun.javacard.apduio;
Any ideas?

You're missing the Le byte, since you're expecting data back. Try it.

How to get a handle which is used in c dll from javax.smartcardio.card

good afternoon
i am using javax.smartcardio.card to operate a sim-card reader .
but i have a dll which is call sim-card reader by handle.
how can i get a handle from a javax.smartcardio.card object to pass to the dll
next is the code .
c dll prototype declaration
char DoFormat([in] unsigned long P1�C[in] char * P2�C[in] bool P3,[in][out] char *P4)P1 is a handle
java code:
private boolean checkCardReader(boolean isopen)
boolean r=false;
try {
javax.smartcardio.card card;
TerminalFactory factory = TerminalFactory.getDefault();
List terminalList = factory.terminals().list();
terminal = (CardTerminal) terminalList.get(0);
// establish a connection with the card
card = terminal.connect("T=0");
channel = card.getBasicChannel();
//how can i get a handle which can be used by windows dll .
}catch (Exception ex)
System.out.println("Exception : " + ex);
return r;
*****************************************************************

Presumably you are calling a C library method that returns a handle.
Normally a handle will be a integer type value.
With such a value you can cast it into a java integer type and then cast it back in different JNI code by passing it to those routines.
A java long is as big as you can get and will hold most every normal type handle item. You should however verify sizes.

Help need in javax.smartcardio.exception

getting error
javax.smartcardio.CardException: sun.security.smartcardio.PCSCException: Unknown error 0xc000002b
at sun.security.smartcardio.ChannelImpl.doTransmit(ChannelImpl.java:202)

while setting pin limit in the card.
Please help what is the cause of getting this error.
thanks in advance

First you should check that the library has the checkbox 'Deploy by default' is checked for your library.
The you open the project properties of the view controller project, select Deployments, edit the deployment descriptor. Select the Node 'File Groups'->'WEB-INF/lib'->'Contributors'. this should give you a list of libraries your project uses. Check if your library has the checkbox checked (is selected fro deployment). If it's not checked, set it.
This should include the library.

How to get free memory size of a card with javax.smartcardio

Hi,
How can I find how much memory of a card is free with javax.smartcardio?
Please your advice.
Thank in advance.

Is it possible to send a APDU Command to select the root 3F00 and read the properties?There is no built-in smartcardio funationality to do this. What you can do is send an APDU and get the memory by calling the code mentioned already.

Javax.smartcardio package not found in Java source file

I downloaded the latest JDK from developer.apple.com, but now I cannot find the javax.smartcardio package in the source package (src.jar) that came with it. I unpacked the JAR file, but simply can't find the stated package. Can you help me out?

I can confirm the issue here (Mountain Lion, 10.8.5). A very simple program (attached below) that just enumerates terminals and checks if a card is present will crash:
If Apple JDK6 is used in 64-bit mode (without supplying the -d32 argument)
If Oracle JDK7 is used (can not switch to 64-bit, uses)
It will work if:
If Apple JDK6 is forced into 32-bit mode using -d32
If Oracle JDK7 version of libj2pcsc.dylib is replaced with a patched version

PC/SC with JNI vs. javax.smartcardio

Hi,
for programming card terminals (USB tag readers) the PC/SC was used with JNI. Since the Java Smartcard I/O API (javax.smartcardio, JSR 268) was introduces in 1.6 it makes the JNI obsolete right?
So there is no need for jpcsc and similar?
Thanks
STeN
Edited by: stenlik on Jun 8, 2011 8:39 PM

smartcardio uses JNI to access the PC/SC layer. It is built into the JDK so you do not have to distribute the JAR/DLL files any more as they are already delivered. jpcsc still has it's place but as you mentioned it is not required any more (unless your JDK does not have smartcardio).

Javax.print problems on applet - bug on mac os implementation?

Dear All,
I am working on an applet and application that include a print function and I get a weird behaviour on MacOS in applet mode (both with Safari and Firefox - Mac OS X Versione 10.4.9 (Build 8P135) ). In contrast, things work fine on Windows XP (both Explorer 7 and Firefox with Java Plug-in 1.6.0_01) and even in MacOS when using the application.
The problems are:
- the print dialogue goes on and off a few times before letting the user interact with it
- the page format in the dialogue is set to A5 (instead of the printer's default)
- there is a small empty window appearing together with the dialogue and not disappearing even after the applet is closed
Is this a known problem? If so, are there work-arounds?
(I had no luck on Google about this)
To reproduce the problem I created a stripped down version of the applet, in 2 files, I report it at the bottom of this message. I am using a modified version the PrintUtilities class from http://www.apl.jhu.edu/~hall/java/Swing-Tutorial/Swing-Tutorial-Printing.html
Am I doing something wrong? Or shall I consider submitting a bug report?
Any suggestion is welcome! Please let me know if I should provide more detailed information.
Thank you in advance,
Enrico

Importing javax.ejb problems

Hi,
I have started learning EJB using netbeans 6.5 running on a mac os X 10.5.6. When i am trying to import javax.ejb and error stating that package javax.ejb does not exist.
From a search on the net i have learned that on windows os it is a problem of class paths. I don't know how to solve this problem on mac.
Thanks
Ray

Here is what I have done recently:
I tried it in Eclipse, which also isn't able to find javax.ejb and java.ejb
What is going wrong? It seems like j2ee.jar doesn't provide these libraries.
Thank you.

Javax comm problems

Hi,
I am trying to communicate with the communication ports using javax comm API through an applet.
I am using Java 1.3.1.
It gives me the exception:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:javax.comm.commPortIdentifier
I run the same program not using the applet , it runs fine.(i.e.recognises the ports etc)
i tried to using a signed applet for the communication and still the exception is raised.
All the files like comm.jar and properties file and also windriver are located in the reqd locations.else my program would not have run without using the applet.
Can someone suggest what could be causing this problem
Thanks
Sai

I am having the same problems with this javax.comm package. I am using Java 1.3.1_01 under WIN2K. I checked the hardware profile, and it listed my serial ports. I also have a palmpilot which communicates with this serial port, and it works fine as well.
I tryed installing it two different ways:
1.)
installed it as if I was using jdk1.1.x
putting the comm.jar package in the <jdkroot>/lib dir
putting the properties file in the <jdkroot>/lib dir
putting the dll in the <jdkroot>/bin dir

installed it according to the jdk1.2 documentation
comm.jar -> <jdkroot>/jre/lib/ext/ dir
properties -> <jdkroot>/jre/lib
dll -> <jdkroot>/jre/bin
not altering the path
This gave me the following runtime error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/comm/CommPortIdentifier
at VirtualGPSConsoleApp.main(VirtualGPSConsoleApp.java:27)
Exception in thread "main"
Process VirtualGPSConsoleApp exited abnormally with code 1
Please let me know if you make any headway.
