I am developing a Web page using jsp and html where in I need to read/write from/to a Device connected on Client's System who are accessing the Webpage. The Device is a Serial Device which is connected as COM1(Eg) in Windows. I went through different options available. I found this which serves my purpose. I started learning JNLP for the same. I imported the project and made changes according to my needs. (This project is using jssc.jar). I generated the jar (jSSC-Terminal.jar) and signed with self-generated key. The GUI is being loaded properly but I am unable to access the Serial port on client's machine. Here is my jnlp file launch.jnlp
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<jnlp href="launch.jnlp" spec="1.0+" codebase="http://192.168.1.33:8080/abc"

Here is my html

<param name="draggable" value="true"/>
</applet>

I have placed all these files in Tomcat directory as below
/Tomcat/webapps/abc/launch.jnlp
/Tomcat/webapps/abc/jSSC-Terminal.jar
/Tomcat/webapps/abc/index.html
/Tomcat/webapps/abc/lib/jssc.jar
I am unable to get the SerialPort List when run as jnlp. Kindly help me out with a fix if available. Or are there any alternate things available in JSP. Thanks and Regards.
Edit :
Finally found out thank you. I replaced my applet tag and included jnlp location as below :
<applet code="applet.Main" archive="http://192.168.1.33:8080/abc/jSSC-Terminal.jar, http://192.168.1.33:8080/abc/lib/jssc.jar,"http://192.168.1.33:8080/abc/test.jnlp" width="700" height="500">
<param name="separate_jvm" value="true"/>
<param name="draggable" value="true"/>
</applet>
</body>
