MY TRIES

I visited http://www.java.com/, read the "download latest version",

upgraded my system with all the latest files but still receive the same

error messages;

besides: i copied the latest rxtx java files into processing's and the system's

folders (tried combinations with & without having these files installed) -

no change ...

MAC'S XCODE DEVELOPER TOOLS?

http://wiki.processing.org/w/Troubleshooting says:

"Using developer releases of Java is strongly discouraged. 

These can often cause problems and we can't possibly support them ... "

I do have Mac's Xcode tool installed - could this cause the problem?

i wonder if there are any examples 

i am trying to replace my "jssocket*" based server

with a none-swf based server solution

to connect my jquery based (...javascript...) page 

to incoming serial-server data from a microcontroler;

- can i use "processing" as a server instead of "jssocket" ?

( - would processing work on both windows and mac

(and probably even smartphones) ?)

- are there any sample projects that show how to

connect data from a usb/serial port to a.html page/javascript?

any help would be greatly appreciated!

------------------------------------------------------------------

i have ...

- a picaxe microcontroller chip

running at 4800 baude

connected to my laptop's usb port

("/dev/tty.usbserial-ID_NUMBER")

"jssockets"

a javascript/swf/ server

see also:

http://code.google.com/p/jssockets/

"serial server"

the program connecting "jssocket* to the microcontroller

allowing to set the baude rate

and automatically showing the microcontroller

connected to my usb port

http://itp.nyu.edu/~dbo3/SerialServer/SerialServer.html 

a jquery based javascript

that receives the microcontroler's data

and visualises it
