Is possible to select the number of serial port, in java using OCF?

Assuming you are using the /javax.comm/ API to access the serial

ports, then the port is specified statically in the "opencard.properties"

file that OCF is reading at startup. E.g., On Linux I use:

OpenCard.terminals = com.gemplus.opencard.terminal.GemplusCardTerminalFactory|my

gcr|GCR410|/dev/ttyS1

On Windows it would be "COM1" "COM2" etc. instead of "/dev/ttyS1"

(or "/dev/cua0" on Solaris :-) ).

Now if you are using PC/SC, the OCF property file just points to

"use the PC/SC card manager". I think that you can also specify

a name for the reader you want to use though (and then PC/SC

will find the right serial port corresponding to it), e.g.:

OpenCard.terminals=com.ibm.opencard.terminal.pcsc10.Pcsc10CardTerminalFactory|my

gcr|GCR410|SHARED

The name being GCR410 here... (to be tested).

Hope it'll help.

Cheers,

Christophe.
