Public bug reported:
The OpenJDK codebase contains a class at
sun.security.smartcardio.PlatformPCSC which looks at the
sun.arch.data.model to see if it's a 64-but O/S or not. If so, and it's
not SunOS then it adds a little piece into the library lookup path of
lib64, thus meaning it looks for
/usr/lib64/libpcsclite.so
which doesn't exist in Ubuntu 11.10 as it's now at
/usr/lib/libpcsclite.so instead.
There is a workaround of adding
-Dsun.security.smartcardio.library=/usr/lib/libpcsclite.so as a JVM
argument to force the library path, but this shouldn't be necessary.
To see the problem:
1. obtain a device that runs with pcscd
2. Compile the following Java code
3. Run with and without the -D flag above to see the difference (you shouldn't
get the "None" provided by "None" message with the flag):
package com.moo.bug;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.smartcardio.CardException;
import javax.smartcardio.CardTerminal;
import javax.smartcardio.TerminalFactory;
public class BugDemo {
private static final Logger log =
Logger.getLogger(BugDemo.class.getName());
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
// show the list of available terminals
List<CardTerminal> terminals;
try {
TerminalFactory factory = TerminalFactory.getDefault();
System.out.println("Factory is: " + factory);
terminals = factory.terminals().list();
System.out.println("Terminals: " + terminals);
} catch (CardException e) {
log.log(Level.SEVERE, "Could not open terminals: " +
e.getMessage(), e);
return;
}
}
}
