hum,
yes you're rigth a bit, I'll probably can use GCR410 and gemplus API by
wrapping native API
or using pure java reader, but I will have a serious trouble. If I do that I
must turn off
PCSC driver on my com port (shutdown the computer and restart), or get
second
reader on other port (hight cost) or plug the reader to another com port...
<:-(
In fact I have applications that use PCSC drivers so I can shutdown PCSC drivers.
Even thougth the Gemplus reader GCR410 use ISO7816-4 APDU style command
to drive memory card (at least for card i need) the fact that PCSC drivers hope an
ATR block me!
Someone can help!
Regards.
thank you Christophe for precissions below on opencard framework..

YES, it'll help.
