Java IO

[StarBuck]

Does anyone have good experience in Java Input-Output libraries, more specifically serial communication?

I need some help in reading data from a serial port (com port) into a java application...

So far I've been able to open up a talk-listen connection with the input device, but I've got no luck with the "listen" part

Have you found this chapter on serial port programming??
http://java.sun.com/developer/.....ook/11.pdf

Basically you open up the correct COMPort, cast it to SerialPort, set the appropriate properties using setSerialPortParams, and then using the COMPort object you can use the getInputStream and getOutputStream methods to open up the streams and use them in exactly the same way you would for File IO.

If you need to be notified when data is available to read, then you need to implement the SerialPortEventListener interface and on your SerialPort object use the method notifyOnDataAvailable(boolean) and then add you event listener using the addEventListener(SerialPortEventListener) method.

thanks a lot for the paper man, I'll try it out as soon as I can and I'll let you know how it works out
