Using javax.smartcardio from openjdk7-darwin-i386-20080820

[Nick Hilhorst]

If you are running your own pcscd you need to set the Java system  
property sun.security.smartcardio.library to the location of your PC/ 
SC library (as described on http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/SunProviders.html#SunPCSCProvider) 
. I did this by adding the following as a Default VM Argument in  
Eclipse:

-Dsun.security.smartcardio.library=/usr/local/lib/libpcsclite.dylib

This definitely changed something for the better, but I'm not  
completely there yet. I now get the following exceptions:

java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Error constructing  
implementation (algorithm: PC/SC, provider: SunPCSC, class:  
sun.security.smartcardio.SunPCSC$Factory)
	at java.security.Provider$Service.newInstance(Provider.java:1257)

	at java.lang.reflect.Constructor.newInstance(Constructor.java:539)
	at java.security.Provider$Service.newInstance(Provider.java:1252)
	... 4 more

I'm testing with the following program:

package com.ongelooflijk.chipknip;

import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;

import javax.smartcardio.CardException;
import javax.smartcardio.CardTerminal;
import javax.smartcardio.TerminalFactory;

public class LoadTest {

	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		List<CardTerminal> terminals = null;
		try {
			TerminalFactory factory = TerminalFactory.getInstance("PC/SC", null);
			System.out.println("TerminalFactory Type: " + factory.getType());
			// Get the list of readers configured in the environment
			terminals = factory.terminals().list();
			for (Iterator<CardTerminal> iter = terminals.iterator();  
iter.hasNext();)
				System.out.println("Terminal: " + iter.next());
		} catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (CardException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		
	}
}


If anyone has ideas they're more than welcome. I don't really think  
this has anything to do with openjdk anymore. I have the feeling that / 
usr/local/lib/libpcsclite.dylib somehow doesn't work with the pcscd  
that is installed, but I have no idea how to check this. I know pcscd  
is running and working, because pcsctest still gives the expected  
results.
