Tom,
Thanks for the response. Doesn't that seem like a lot of work for someone who
just wants to use a smartcard in my programs? Bringing up JavaCardCardService
was a mistake (since I'm not trying to write JavaCard application, I just
wanted to test if the iButton OCF classes supported the service)-- I'm
interested in the SignatureCardService.
I guess this really isn't a question for OCF (as it provides a framework for
writing card and terminal independent applications), but more for vendor
support of OCF.
Am I right on that (since I'm fairly new to smart card programming)?
