We want to communicate with the Gemplus 211pk and Gemplus Pro
cards from a web page.

We have successfully built a java applet that runs in MS ie,
using the microsoft vm and proprietary cab signing technology.
We are using the OCF/PCSC Bridge. In the cab file downloaded
from the web server, only the java applet is downloaded.
The user must, before hand, install ocf, as well as the
pcsc drivers for the card reader. 


I am now working on netscape 7 support.
netscape 7 supports java only thru the sun java plug-in 1.4.

This plug in has a more strict security sandbox.
User classpaths are not part of the jvm running in the browser,
and I do not believe native calls are allowed.

I have figured out how to sign jar files, and have gotten to the
point where my applet loads in the web page, but fails
because it does not find OCF.

I could include the ocf classes as part of my signed jar, but I don't 
believe the OCF/PCSC Bridge will then work correctly. (And I don't 
believe this is the preferred solution)

Has anyone out there tried anything similar? Will moving towards
a terminal that uses the javax.comm stuff help? 
Is there any, perhaps iffy, way of getting the jar files
into the jvm on the client?
