Hi,

I have some code that uses javax.smartcardio that works on Windows, but fails when I try to run it on the version of Java 6 from Apple (same problems as described on http://lists.apple.com/archives/java-dev/2008/May/msg00144.html), so I decided to give the binary version of openjdk7-darwin-i386-20080820 as built by Landon Fuller a try. Here follows my code for getting the list of configured readers:

/**

* 

* @return List of references to the readers configured in the environment

* 

* @throws CardException

*/

private static List<CardTerminal> getTerminals() throws CardException {

List<CardTerminal> terminals = null;

try {

TerminalFactory factory = TerminalFactory.getInstance("PC/SC", null);

// TerminalFactory factory = TerminalFactory.getDefault();

System.out.println("TerminalFactory Type: " + factory.getType());

// Get the list of readers configured in the environment

terminals = factory.terminals().list();

} catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {

// TODO Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

}

return terminals;

}

This fails with the following:

When I browse the source I see that it most probably fails because it was unable to load the library "j2pcsc". I did some googling and found that on OS X this means that through JNI it is looking for libj2pcsc.jnilib. But the only file I can find in the code distributed by Landon Fuller is libj2pcsc.dylib, which I understand to be an OS X Dynamic Library similar to a DLL on windows. I have the feeling this is more of an issue with the build from Landon than with the OpenJDK 7 bsd port, but I'm a complete noob in these matters, so I think I'd best leave it up to the experts to figure this one out.

I don't think this is relevant for this problem, but I'll mention it anyway: I'm using an Omnikey CardMan 3121 and have the Smart Card Services Update v1.1 from Shawn A. Geddis installed. The reader seems to work fine and running pcsctest gives the expected output for the reader as well as the inserted card.
