A Java applet (or application) running on the host machine can call
the classes/methods of an OCF CardTerminal implementation to exchange
APDUs with the card. I gather that Gemplus has a CardTerminal
implementation for the GCR410. To accomplish something useful with this,
though, you'll need to know what commands to place in the APDUs you
send. The APDU command set tends to be card-specific, so hopefully
you have developer documentation for the Micropayflex from Schlumberger
or someone.
Hope this helps
