Java Runtime 2.1 and JSR 177 (SATSA-APDU)

Hi all,

I read that Java Runtime 2.1 supports JSR 177 APDU.
I have 3 questions.

Does the jsr 177 APDU is include in the Beta version,
Does a midlet that want access to this API must be signed with particular cerificate,
When the release version is planed.


Thanks very much,
Adrien

Hello Adrien,


[QUOTE]Does the jsr 177 APDU is include in the Beta version[/QUOTE]

According to JRT 2.1 release notes on Forum Nokia Wiki, the Beta release includes the support for the API: [url]http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Java_Runtime_2.1_for_Symbian_Release_notes[/url]

[QUOTE]Does a midlet that want access to this API must be signed with particular cerificate[/QUOTE]

The security settings for JSR-177 (SATSA-APDU package) are defined on Forum Nokia Java Developer's Library: [url]http://library.forum.nokia.com/topic/Java_Developers_Library/GUID-BAE4AAA6-750C-4AC1-9835-0B6C3070E70C.html[/url]

For reference, check out the public roadmap available on Forum.Nokia.com: [url]http://www.forum.nokia.com/piazza/blogs/resources/300116/SymbianJavaExternalRoadmapOctober2009.pdf[/url]

So with this API I sign my midlet correctly I will be able to send APDU to the SIM Card on the phone, isn't it?

It says that the card must have an ACF File. If the ACF file doesn't exists what append? All the APDU are forwarded to the applet or it will be rejected?

It's sure that with a Thawte certificate my application will be able to access all the APIs (jsr 177-APDU for example) on a Nokia N97 or N97 mini phone?

Also is it Code Signing Certificate for Sun Java™ that I 've to purchase to sign my Midlet to get access to the APis?


Thanks,
Adrien

I find more information about the ACF File. I learn that the ACF File is needed only if a PKCS#15 application is located in the card. If not, all permission will granted. Is it true?



Thanks,

3rd party certificate is good for your task, ref to [url]http://library.forum.nokia.com/[/url]

[QUOTE]It is recommended that you locate the ACF files in the pkcs#15 or WIM application and use a relative path in the ACIF. If an absolute path is used in the ACIF, the ACF must be readable on all logical channels; otherwise, the terminal might not be able to access the ACF.[/QUOTE]

I agree with your second quote but if the PCKS#15 application is not present in the sim card, what append?

Hi,

The JSR 177 implementation do not mention that the PCKS#15 application is mandatory or optional.

So my question is does a PCKS#15 app located in the card is needed to use the JSR 177 in the phone?



Thanks, Adrien
