Clayton:
Thanks for your reply. I have worked with the iButtons for the past year
and must admit I like them. I just have a few outside questions for you
about the iButtons. Are you currently aware of any bugs or problems when
using the Microsoft Win322 jvm inside of IE 5.0 to run an applet that in
its init() method searches for iButtons ? I use the follow code:
public void init() {
...
startPolling(null);
}
protected void startPolling(String nativeDevString) {
try {
SmartCard.start();
CardTerminalRegistry registry = CardTerminalRegistry.getRegistry();
registry.addCTListener(this);
}catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
}
However this code has revealed the "failed set serial adapter type Could
not create an instance of iButton driver for COM1"
in the java console of IE. I really would like to get this to work but have
not been able to. On top of this I have written a simple application
utility to wait for an inserted iButton and inform the user if it sees it.
This application has been compiled under jdk1.1.7B and run with a Win95
version of jview (VM version 5.0.3881, the latest available). Do you think
that my problem is that I am using the Microsoft SDK for java, or do you
think that it might be IE 5.0 ? Either way I thought it was time to head
straight to the source for reference. Thanks
