The javax.comm for Serial Communications

While deciding what language to use in making the SMS Gateway Project, I decided to use Java since it supports most of the functionalities I need. I am not an expert on this language. It was only last semester that I got learned the language from our Computer Applications subject. Since I already know how to use MySQL in a Java Application, interfacing the SMS to Web will now be a lot easier. But again, I face the problem on how to make my Java Application communicate with my phone.

Going back to what we did on my previous post, I have reduced the problem on how would my Java Application listen on COM5. I have already established the COM5 on my phone (and seen it working), well that narrows the complications in finding my solution.

Since I am aware that my application will listen at COM5, I tried looking for an extension for my application. I found the javax.comm Java extension publicly distributed for free by Sun Microsystems. The extension versions that I found first was for the Solaris systems (which obviously won’t work on my XP).

COMM API (javax.comm) is a Java extension providing access to RS-232 serial ports and IEEE-1284 parallel ports (SPP mode)

Trying to dig the net for a copy of a javax.comm for Windows, I found it here. It’s the version 2.0 of the COMM API made for third party environments like windows.
