If u're talking about, connecting to a USB device through java, the answer is YES indeed.
I'm currently doing the same thing, but trying to connect to a RS232 device. So for your reading pleasure(and cutting down on 3 days reading of useless resources) here are the links you need to visit
Signed applets : http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Security/Signed/
Comms - http://java.sun.com/products/javacomm/
EDIT: you might also want to type in "USB" into the search box for these forums, looks like you're not the first...surprise...surprise.
Good luck
Smilies all round
