Interface ISO14443Connection

All Superinterfaces:

javax.microedition.io.Connection, TagConnection

public interface ISO14443Connection
extends TagConnection

This interface defines access to the ISO 14443-4 compliant contactless smart card. With this interface application can communicate with contactless smart card using APDU commands. The APDU commands are defined in ISO7816-4 specification or by the RFID hardware manufacturer. This interface does not replace APDUConnection interface specified in JSR 177. Implementation of this class may take advantage of JSR 177. The slot number needed to open an APDUConnection to the external smart card may be provided though the TargetProperties.getProperty method.

Following example shows how this connection can be used. It opens an ISO14443Connection to the discovered external smart card and sends APDU command to it.

            dm.addTargetListener(this, TargetType.ISO14443_CARD);
            dm.addTransactionListener(this);
        }

        }
    }

        TargetProperties target = properties[0];

                    // Send command to smart card
                    byte[] response = smc.exchangeData(commands);

Method Detail

exchangeData

byte[] exchangeData(byte[] data)
                    throws java.io.IOException,
                           ContactlessException

This method allows exchanging APDU commands with an external smart card using ISO14443-4 communication. Response to the sent commands is received as a return value. The APDU commands are defined in ISO7816-4 specification. The API implementation may also support APDU commands defined by the RFID hardware manufacturer.

Parameters:

data - APDU commands to be sent to the smart card

Returns:

response to the APDU commands from the smart card

Throws:

ContactlessException - if the operation is not supported by the API implementation

java.lang.NullPointerException - if data is null

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if data is an empty array

java.io.IOException - if connection has been closed

java.io.InterruptedIOException - if connection is closed during exchange operation
