Ashish, first OCF is a Java Framework on the PC or TERMINAL for the access of smart cards, Java Card is Java ON the card itself. (question 6) There are different card types, Java Card, Smart Card for Windows, Multos and FileSystem Cards. The first three allow you to develop pieces of code yourself and download it to the card. FileSystem Cards provide you with a file system to store and retrieve data from your card. I depends on your requirements if you should take a file system card or f.e. a Java Card. Regarding your other questions: 1. If you want to execute code on the card, you have to download it to the card 2. Each JavaCard comes with a development kit, which allow you to download the code to the card. 3. This is also done by the card's development kit. I would like recommend a book to you wish should help you to start Smart Card Application Development Using Java, it was written by 3 colleagues o me and myself. Uwe Hansmann, Martin S. Nicklous, Thomas Schaeck, Frank Seliger Smart Card Application Development Using Java, ISBN 3-540-65829-7 Springer-Verlag Berlin, 1999 You can find more information about the book on http://www.opencard.org/SCJavaBook [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 08.01.2000 12:53:26 Please respond to Ashish Deshpande <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: OCF <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: (bcc: Uwe Hansmann/Germany/IBM) Subject: [OCF] ashishde Hi, I want to develop an application in smart card. But I do not have any experience on it. I have some doubts which I want to clarify. Please help me. Since the communication between the card and the application( PC ) is always done through the APDU. 1.Is it nessesary to put the applets in card only or can we put them on a PC's hard drive? 2.How can we download the applet in smart card if it is present on the PC's hard drive? If it is then can you send me small program? 3.Suppose I have written one card applet on my PC then how can I actually put it on the smart card i.e. the class file? 4.What are the differences between the normal applet and the smart card Applet? 5. I have gone through the OCF documentation.I have read about the different services like FileAccessCardService etc in it. Any card contains these services or it depends on the manufacturers, which services to be served on the smart card? 6. I have downloaded Java card API also. What is the difference between OCF API and Java card API?
