Using Java to communicate to a USB device from browser
Hi Experts,
We have a ASPNET web application and now we have a new request: the client wants to communicate with their USB device using our application. They plug the device into their PCs, open a page of our web application and the page will communicate with the device to get some input. Of course the device must already have proper driver. Comunication here means reading some input from the device.
Someone said that we can use JAVA to do this. So I'd like to get more information about it. Can someone give me a guide or a link which tells me how to do?
Thank you for reading.

We are waiting for more input from our clients. Although your posts don't give me what I was looking for, which might not really exist, they are still good hints for me. Thank you all :)

Sorry for my late response. I have learned the links you gave me. I found out that the javax.usb library only works on Linux. It is not good for me :(
However, it seems that the library aims to help us access usb devices directly regardingless drivers, doesn't it? What about if a driver is ready? Is it easier to access it?
Thank for you help :)
