Hi everybody,

can someone help me?
I'm a beginner in PDAs. First of all, I got a Sony Clie PEG-SJ20 and a USB Cable, and also a PalmOS 4.1

I want to write an application on both system (Palm & Win2000)
without using the HotSync-Technology. Just a client/server appl.
The applications will be designed in Java.
So, on the PDA side, I will use the superwaba SDK, which communicate with the serial port. It works really fine.

My question is, how can I use the USB port on the desktop pc (Win2K)? Java Sun got the the Java Communication API, which provide the serial/ parallel port, but NOT USB :(

On my desktop PC, I have installed the Palm Desktop for Clie, and I found in the direcories some DLLs (libraries), which has got the USB drivers. I am not sure, which library I could use for my application without using any other application such as HotSync, Palm Desktop.

What DLLs are required for developing applications on the desktop PC to have communication via the USB Port? (No HotSync-Technology, no Synchronization or conduits)

If I would know, which DLL are required, then I would use the Java Native Interface (JNI) to develop/ design my desktop application.

Are there SDK's or API's, which give me those supports?


I will be very appreciate, if someone can tell me, how it works.

Cheers,
eclipse.
