Hi All,
I have an assignment to make a program in java with RFID which use serial port. All I know is that I need to download a javax.comm package.
Where can I get that package??? And does anybody have an example how to use serial port in java???

Have you tried doing a simple google search? These packages do exist and are for download on the java website. Download the package and add the correct repositories to the classpath. Search for a tutorial on it or an example, I'm sure one exists (I had to do this not long ago on python, which simply uses java to do it through jython so I needed the same things you do).

Good luck,

Hi blazedaces,
Yes I have tried to googling and try to download it from the java website but there is an error message that "The product is not available"....

Alright, I dug a little deeper (which you should try to do from now on) and found out this:

Sun discontinued the old Java comm package for Windows. There's a substitute,
and a good one, available though: RXTX.

kind regards,
