List all the serial and parallel ports in your system using Java
By: Ashish in Java Tutorials on 2009-03-28
Are you getting javax.comm.NoSuchPortException error? If yes, then first check if ur COM port is really been detected by the driver. I'll give you one program that will display all the serial and parallel ports in your system.
/* program*/
import javax.comm.*;
import java.util.Enumeration;
public class ListPorts {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Enumeration ports = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifiers();
while (ports.hasMoreElements()) {
CommPortIdentifier port = (CommPortIdentifier)ports.nextElement();
String type;
switch (port.getPortType()) {
case CommPortIdentifier.PORT_PARALLEL:
type = "Parallel";
break;
case CommPortIdentifier.PORT_SERIAL:
type = "Serial";
break;
default: /// Shouldn't happen
type = "Unknown";
break;
}
System.out.println(port.getName() + ": " + type);
}
}
}
just check it ... this is what the output will be!!( my case)
COM1: Serial COM2: Serial COM7: Serial LPT1: Parallel LPT2: Parallel
