My 5 cent:

for development I suggest to work with the JCOP Tools. The tools include a simulator. To test it on a real card order JCOP sample cards from NXP Semiconductors. You can use any reader that is compliant with T=0/1 or T=CL. You can even use just a bare USB connector with JCOP41 v2.2.1 cards.

JCOP Tools: scard@de.ibm.com

JCOP sample cards: contact NXP's product manager for JCOP

We are testing the Java applets with sun Wireless tollkit 2.5 and building them without IDE, only editing a .java and compiling with javac. (and using apdutool, cref, etc...)

The version of javacard we use is 2.2.1, but JCOP here http://www-306.ibm.com/software/wireless/wecos/tools.html says it's a 2.1.1 implementation.

We only need a reader/writer and cards with support Javacard 2.2.1.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks a lot.

@SamaeL

Only the first JCOP versions supported Java Card 2.1.1. These are not sold anymore. The latest JCOP versions support JC 2.2.1. IBM name for JCOP is 'WebSphere Everyplace Chip Operating System'.

OK lexdabear. More Questions.. (if you want)Is different write applications for Javacard 2.2.1 standar or JCOP?Does JCOP offer any facility to test java applets in real cards or only generates .cap like other techniques?Thanks a lot

JCOP and the JCOP Tools support the deveopment and testing of Java Card Applets (Eclipse plugin). The tools have a cap file converter and an off-card java bytecode verifier included.

Other question:If I develope a Java Applet without JCOP Tools and I test and obtain a .cap file with Sun tools (converter, scriptgen, verifycap, apdutools,cref,...), could this .cap file be installed into JCOP java card without problems?Thanks.

CAP file format is described in the JCVM specification. You can install any CAP file without problems that follows JC 2.1.1 or 2.2.1 . This is the main advantage of Java Card: portability of Applets.

Ok, so, do you have any card reader that recommend me? Or any web where i can buy it?

I recommend the Omnikey 5121 dual reader. There is a newer version out (5321) but I do not have any experience with this one. If you are working for a company, it should be no problem to order one. Omnikey offers very good support. The price is around 60 Euros (80$). A good alternative is the SCM dual reader SDI010. Contact readers come at a much cheaper price (~20-30 Euro).

If you want to order a reader for private use, you can get one through a distributor. A good online shop is Tx Systems:

Hello. I am interested if there are contactless Java cards (for which aplications can be developed similar with the ones on contact Java Card). If exist, can you reccomend me some?Thank you

take a look at hybrid Java Cards. They are contact & contactless. The unique thing about them is the contactless is linked to the space on the contact chip. So the contactless will have the same benefits as the contact chip. Oberthur has them, but not sure if they have developer cards available.
