Method Detail

addPortName

public static void addPortName(java.lang.String portName,
                               int portType,
                               CommDriver commDriver)

Adds portName to the list of ports.

Parameters:

portName - The name of the port being added

portType - The type of the port being added

commDriver - The driver representing the port being added

Since:

CommAPI 1.1

getPortIdentifier

public static CommPortIdentifier getPortIdentifier(CommPort port)
                                            throws NoSuchPortException

Obtains the CommPortIdentifier object corresponding to a port that has already been opened by the application.

Parameters:

port - a CommPort object obtained from a previous open

Returns:

a CommPortIdentifier object

Throws:

NoSuchPortException - if the port object is invalid

getPortIdentifier

public static CommPortIdentifier getPortIdentifier(java.lang.String portName)
                                            throws NoSuchPortException

Obtains a CommPortIdentifier object by using a port name. The port name may have been stored in persistent storage by the application.

Parameters:

portName - name of the port to open

Returns:

a CommPortIdentifier object

Throws:

NoSuchPortException - if the port does not exist

getPortIdentifiers

public static java.util.Enumeration getPortIdentifiers()

Obtains an enumeration object that contains a CommPortIdentifier object for each port in the system.

Returns:

an Enumeration object that can be used to enumerate all the ports known to the system

Enumeration

addPortOwnershipListener

public void addPortOwnershipListener(CommPortOwnershipListener listener)

Registers an interested application so that it can receive notification of changes in port ownership. This includes notification of the following events:

• PORT_OWNED: Port became owned
• PORT_UNOWNED: Port became unowned
• PORT_OWNERSHIP_REQUESTED: If the application owns this port and is willing to give up ownership, then it should call close now.

The ownershipChange method of the listener registered using addPortOwnershipListener will be called with one of the above events.

Parameters:

listener - a CommPortOwnershipListener callback object

closePort

public void closePort()

Non-Api method. Called when close() method is called on CommPort object. Required to set port owner to null and propagate CommPortOwnership event.

fireOwnershipEvent

void fireOwnershipEvent(int eventType)

This method needs to be called when ownership of the port changes.

getCurrentOwner

public java.lang.String getCurrentOwner()

Returns the owner of the port.

Returns:

current owner of the port.

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Returns the name of the port.

Returns:

the name of the port

getPortType

public int getPortType()

Returns the port type.

Returns:

portType - PORT_SERIAL or PORT_PARALLEL

internalClosePort

void internalClosePort()

Non-Api method. Called when close() method is called on CommPort object. Required to set port owner to null and propagate CommPortOwnership event.

isCurrentlyOwned

public boolean isCurrentlyOwned()

Checks whether the port is owned.

Returns:

boolean true if the port is owned by some application, false if the port is not owned.

open

public CommPort open(java.io.FileDescriptor fileDescriptor)
              throws UnsupportedCommOperationException

Opens the communications port using a FileDescriptor object on platforms that support this technique.

Parameters:

fileDescriptor - The FileDescriptor object used to build a CommPort.

Returns:

a CommPort object.

Throws:

UnsupportedCommOperationException - is thrown on platforms which do not support this functionality.

open

public CommPort open(java.lang.String appName,
                     int timeout)
              throws PortInUseException

Parameters:

appName -

timeout -

Returns:

comport

Throws:

PortInUseException

removePortOwnershipListener

public void removePortOwnershipListener(CommPortOwnershipListener listener)

Deregisters a CommPortOwnershipListener registered using addPortOwnershipListener

Parameters:

listener - The CommPortOwnershipListener object that was previously registered using addPortOwnershipListener
