I don't even know if this is possible as I'm not a C or Java programmer. UV has the GCI (General Call Interface) that allows it to make calls to external subroutines written in C, C++ and Fortran 77. It seems to me that you should be able to create a "wrapper" in C++ that would call the Java API and then return the data from the Java credit card software to the UV application. Again, I don't know if C++ can be made to "talk" with Java either.
Just an idea, Gordon P.S. I think we should add this functionality request to our enhancement request list. Fortran 77? Does that even exist anymore? I'm thinking a Java interface would be much more in demand that a Fortran 77 one. Gordon J.
