Accessing I/O Ports in Java 1

[fesaner]

Is it possible to directly access the PC parallel and serial ports with Java?

In most C++ versions there are inp() and outp()instructions that facilitate direct port addressing.

Thanks for the help

Dear fesaner,

Take a look at javax.comm.ParallelPort

Good luck

I don't have a javax.comm package (in jdk 1.2.2)... is it part of 1.3, j2ee, or an add-in package? My Home -->

Java has a package that does what you want:
