The Java Communications API (also known as javax.comm) provides applications access to RS-232 hardware (serial ports) and limited access to IEEE-1284 (parallel ports), SPP mode.
How To use javax.comm
This package contains following files.
1. comm.jar
2. win32com.dll
3. javax.comm.properties
Place the above files in below location.
comm.jar should be placed in:
%JAVA_HOME%/lib
%JAVA_HOME%/jre/lib/ext
win32com.dll should be placed in:
%JAVA_HOME%/bin
%JAVA_HOME%/jre/bin
%windir%System32
javax.comm.properties should be placed in:
%JAVA_HOME%/lib
%JAVA_HOME%/jre/lib
