Hello, Just a small FAQ in order for people to avoid searching for too long.. As some of you might already have noticed :-(, the gemplus-terminal.jar that is bundled in the currently distributed OCF1.2 is out-of-date; it actually corresponds to OCF1.1 and used to work in 1.1.1 too, but deprecated features only last one version. This distributed file (gemplus-terminal.ja) is 48379 bytes long and was built in Dec 2, 1999. (the right version for 1.2 was out only Dec 10). When you try the classical GetCardID demo using this CardTerminal, with in the properties file: OpenCard.trace = opencard:4 com.gemplus:4 you will get the following messages: __________ | | $ java demos.samples.GetCardID | ------------------------------------------------------------ | start use case: get a card ID | | [CRITICAL ] opencard.opt.terminal.protocol.T1Protocol.initProtocol | --- message Reader initialization failed. | --- thread Thread[main,5,main] | --- source class opencard.opt.terminal.protocol.T1Protocol | [...] | CardTerminalException: | opencard.core.terminal.CardTerminalException: No reader found! |__________ The solution is to upgrade to the current version: 4.1 (a 4.2 will be released soon though) and replace gemplus-terminal.jar by gemplus-terminals-4.1.jar in your java/jre/lib/ext (for Java2) or somewhere in your CLASSPATH (for Java1). Then the trace for the same properties file should be: __________ | | $ java demos.samples.GetCardID | ------------------------------------------------------------ | start use case: get a card ID | | Gemplus Card Terminal Version: 4.01.003 Date: December 10, 1999 | Did not find Gempluscardterminal.properties file | Uses OCF Polling list techniques | Obtained the following CardID: | | 3B 2A 00 80 65 A2 01 01 01 40 72 D6 43 | Historicals: 80 65 A2 01 01 01 40 72 D6 43 | as a string: e @r C | | finished use case: get a card ID | ------------------------------------------------------------ |__________ The download page (for current version) is: http://www.gemplus.fr/developers/technologies/opencard/cardterminals/download.html Choose to download either the .zip or the .tar.gz file, according to your platform. I'll post a message here as soon as the new version is out. Sorry for all inconvenience that this mismatch might have caused.
