Hi all,
I've great problems getting OCF to work in browsers. I want to write an
applet that accesses a smart card via the OCF and javax.comm. In the final
version all neccessary classes and dlls should be downloaded with the applet
(if possible).
-------------------
The first thing I tried, was to use the Java Plug-in.
I created a .jar file, and signed it with my test-key.
It works fine - but I needed to modify the .java.policy file.
So my first question is: Is there a way to avoid the modification of the
.java.policy file?
-------------------
Then I wanted to develop an applet for the IE without Java plug-in.
I inserted the two lines:
opencard.core.util.SystemAccess sys = new
opencard.opt.ms.MicrosoftSystemAccess();
opencard.core.util.SystemAccess.setSystemAccess(sys);
before SmartCard.start();
as described in the OCF programmers guide.
After that I created a .cab file with "dubuild" and signed it with
"signcode" and permission set to all permissions ("signcode ... -jp low
..").
The CLASSPATH contains comm.jar;base-core.jar;base-opt.jar;kobil.jar
(CardTerminal driver)
When I start the Applet I get the following exception:
com.ms.security.SecurityExceptionEx[Host]: cannot access file
C:\WINNT\Java\lib\javax.comm.properties

althogh the javax.comm.properties file is there and is accessible!
What I am doing wrong?
-------------------
My third question concerns Netscape Communicator. Is it possible to use OCF
through Netscape Communicator without the Java Plug-in?
I read an older article in this group, where the author says, that it's not
possible under Win NT due to a mismatch of security models.
------------------
I'm developing on a Windows NT 4.0 platform with OCF 1.2, JDK 1.3, JRE 1.3,
Java Plug-in 1.3.0-c, IE 5.5 and Netscape Communicator 4.75.
Best regards
Thomas
