I am trying to read data from a USB serial com port in Java, but could not get it. What is a working solution for this? I have an application where i need to write some data to the serial port and get the response from it. Now the sequence is as follows: Send a message to the serial. I add some detail to my question. I receive on my Xbee device a flow of GPS coordinates but I'm unable to read and stock these data on a buffer. My Xbee device is.

Serial interfacing requires a standardized API with platform-specific implementations, which is difficult for Java. Unfortunately, Sun didn't pay much attention to serial communication in Java. Sun has defined a serial communication API, called, but an implementation of the API was not part of the Java standard edition. Sun provided a reference implementation for a few, but not all Java platforms. Particularly, at the end of 2005 Sun silently withdrew JavaComm support for Windows.

JavaComm hasn't seen much in the way of maintenance activities, only the bare minimum maintenance is performed by Sun, except that Sun apparently responded to pressure from buyers of their own Sun Ray thin clients and adapted JavaComm to this platform while dropping Windows support. This situation, and the fact that Sun originally did not provide a JavaComm implementation for Linux (starting in 2006, they now do) led to the development of the free-software library. RxTx is available for a number of platforms, not only Linux. It can be used in conjunction with JavaComm ( RxTx providing the hardware-specific drivers), or it can be used stand-alone. When used as a JavaComm driver the bridging between the JavaComm API and RxTx is done by JCL ( JavaComm for Linux).
JCL is part of the RxTx distribution. Sun's negligence of JavaComm and JavaComm's particular programming model gained JavaComm the reputation of being unusable.

Recently, RxTx has been adopted to provide the same interface as JavaComm, only that the package names don't match Sun's package names. So, which of the libraries should one use in an application? If maximum portability (for some value of 'maximum') is desired, then JavaComm is a good choice. If there is no JavaComm implementation for a particular platform available, but an RxTx implementation is, then RxTx could be used as a driver on that platform for JavaComm. So, by using JavaComm one can support all platforms which are either directly supported by Sun's reference implementation or by RxTx with JCL.
This way the application doesn't need to be changed, and can work against just one interface, the standardized JavaComm interface. This module discusses both JavaComm and RxTx. It mainly focuses on demonstrating concepts, not ready-to-run code. Those who want to blindly copy code are referred to the sample code that comes with the packages. Those who want to know what they are doing might find some useful information in this module. JSSC (Java Simple Serial Connector) should also be considered There is also another library called jSerialComm that includes all its platform specific files in its jar, this makes it truly portable as there is no installation necessary. Getting started [ ] • Learn the basics of.
• Have the documentation of the device you want to communicate with (e.g. The modem) ready. • Set up all hardware and a test environment • Use, for example, a terminal program to manually communicate with the device.
This is to be sure the test environment is set up correctly and you have understood the commands and responses from the device. • Download the API implementation you want to use for your particular operating system • Read • the JavaComm and/or RxTx installation instruction (and follow it) • the API documentation • the example source code shipped Installation [ ] General Issues [ ] Both JavaComm and RxTX show some installation quirks. It is highly recommended to follow the installation instructions word-for-word. If they say that a jar file or a shared library has to go into a particular directory, then this is meant seriously! If the instructions say that a particular file or device needs to have a specific ownership or access rights, this is also meant seriously.
