com port

[Ajeesh Moidutty]

I want to access ports like com1,com2 etc
and release the handle any application has on it.

I downloaded javax.comm Api

Now How can I code it ?

[Henry Wong]

Maybe a good place to start is the documentation.

Just to be sure, you are aware that the Java Communications api does not work for windows anymore?

[Ulf Dittmer]

You can still use javax.comm version 2 on Windows; theJava IO FAQ has download details on that, and also points to other serial comm. APIs.
