Urgent help on Oberthur cosmo v7 smart cards sdk

Question

Please every one, I have bought an Oberthur cosmo v7 smart cards but do not have the sdk to develop my application. This has made my development very difficult. I have very limited time to submit my project work. Please, is anyone conversant with the cosmo v7 cards and can someone help me to get the cosmo v7 sdk and download it? I believe in this forum. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
There are 3 workarounds:
1. Put a copy of opencard.properties in the root of you Eclipse project
2. Change the working directory in the Run COnfiguration for when you application runs to the build target directory (${workspace_loc:<project name>/<target directory>}
3. Change the OCF code to also look in the classpath
The code for 3 is as follows. Change opencard.opt.util.OpenCardPropertyFileLoader.loadProperties() to the following
public void loadProperties () throws OpenCardPropertyLoadingException {
    if (! loadingDone) {
        String dotPropStr = OpenCardConstants.OPENCARD_DOTPROPERTIES;
        String propStr    = OpenCardConstants.OPENCARD_PROPERTIES;
        SystemAccess sys=SystemAccess.getSystemAccess();
        List<String> loc = new ArrayList<String>();
        String [] locations = {
                sys.getProperty ("java.home","") + File.separator + "lib" + File.separator + propStr,
            sys.getProperty ("user.home","") + File.separator + dotPropStr,
            sys.getProperty ("user.dir","")  + File.separator + propStr,
            sys.getProperty ("user.dir","")  + File.separator + dotPropStr };
    loc.addAll(Arrays.asList(locations));
    // try to access from classpath
    try {
        File cpath = new File(ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().getResource(".").toURI());
        loc.add(new File(cpath, propStr).getPath());
        loc.add(new File(cpath, dotPropStr).getPath());
    } catch(URISyntaxException e) {
        // ignore, just don't add
    // iterate over all potential locations for 'opencard.properties' files starting
    // with the most general one and proceeding with the more specific ones in order
    // to be able to 'overwrite' more general properties
    for (String path : loc)  {
        //System.out.println("property file "+locations[index]);
        load (path);
    if (! loadingDone) {
        throw new OpenCardPropertyLoadingException ("property file not found");
} // loadPropertiesI have not tried this (using OCF and RMI) but since it is how the RMI sample are coded it should work fine. This should at least get you connecting to CREF.
Cheers,
