Send a text file in server machine to a handheld computer through client serial port

I need to do this in a web application (using jsp's, servlets, applets),

From a client machine select some text files located in a server machine and send them through client serial port (not server serial port) to a handheld computer.

How can i do this?

I'm really newbie in Java programming, could you guide more?, any source code?, any configuration required?, ..

Why do you need to send them through the serial port? Are you connecting the handheld to your computer?

Yes girionis, the only way to establish communication PC-Handheld is through serial port, any help?

You can't without installing javacomm or equivalent on every client.

You might be able to get this working although i'm not sure it will work on 'modern' Windoze:
