Ken, I've got a good news and a bad news for you :-). The good
news is that somebody from my company (Patrick Biget) has written
a small tutorial on how to write a web applet that communicates
with a smartcard. I have attached it to this mail, as it might be
interesting for other people on the list. Now, the bas news is
that this has been written end of 98 and since then both OCF,
Java, and web browsers have changed... So the bad news is that
I really don't know if the indications still work (but I guess so)
so you'll have to follow the steps and see for yourself. The tutorial
contains a pretty good introduction to Java applets security model.
A couple of indications on the tutorial:
- it works with both Netscape and IE,
- it uses the Java Plugin *only*, not the browser's VM,
- the web applet prints the card ATR. I suggest that you
first set up OCF1.1.1 correctly and run the demos in
the "demos.samples" package before trying to work w/ applets,
- last thing: it does not use the generic framework for
setting browser's specific security features that has been
added into OCF1.1.1 (because it didn't exist at this time!)
in the "opencard.core.util.SystemAccess" classes and
sub-classes. If the tutorial is still useful for starting
building web applets that are card-enabled (you'll tell me!),
then I will try to adapt it to make use of this framework.
Patrick has left Gemplus, so the email address indicated in the
tutorial does not work anymore. I suggest to post remarks to the
list as this is an intersting issue (there has been many requests
on the subject). I will try to get a hand on the PowerPoint sources
of the tutorial and, with a little help from everybody, to make
it up-to-date.
Cheers,
Christophe.
