If you are using the PC/SC CardTerminal, there is only one line
to put in your properties file: (on one line)
OpenCard.terminals =
com.ibm.opencard.terminal.pcsc10.Pcsc10CardTerminalFactory
which indicates to connect to the PC/SC Resource Manager. This
last one will in turn manage your readers, drivers, etc. The fact
that one of the reader is USB is managed at the PC/SC driver's level
and OCF is actually unware of that.
Also it might be possible to write a CardTerminal that does JNI
(Java -> C) to use USB services of the OS. The problem is that
there is no standard Java API (to my knowledge) for using USB,
such as javax.comm for serial ports, and so you would probably end-up
porting your driver for Windows, Linux (2.4 USB-aware kernel), and
MacOS, etc.
Hope it'll help.
Cheers,
Christophe.
