In JavaCard, the simulator can use PCSC interface to communicate?

Question

I wrote an Applet, but don't want to send and receive APDU by SDK, could you tell me how should do?
The simulator in javacard development kit can communicate with PCSC interface?

I have used the JCOP tool and oracle's JavaCard SDK. Both of them cannot communicate with PCSC interface.They can only communicate with simulator through the IDE itself.

Answer 1

There is a development kits called JCIDE, used the concept of virtual card reader. Through the virtual card reader, you can used a PC/SC compliant application to communicate with the SmartCard simulator.

The virtual card reader have supported a UMDF(User Mode Driver Framework) card-reader driver which connects to JCIDE to allow any PC/SC compliant application to send APDU to JCIDE and receive response from JCIDE.
