help please~~ my javax.comm prog hangs outputting to bluetooth com port

[ducks]

Hi all,
I'm using the java comm API and my program scans through each available com port, each sending out a handshake code, and the port that replies back the "password" is labeled as our device. I'm doing this so users won't have to do a com port selection.
The problem now is, if it gets to a bluetooth generated port, the program simply hangs on:

outputStream.write(byteBuffer);

This behaves the same under debug, as if it's waiting for something, and no exceptions are caught for this, it just hangs on that line :(
Has anyone ever had this problem? or is there a way to write a timeout for the outpustream.write line..etc?

my prog wasn't designed for bluetooth btw, it connects to health care instruments through a converter cable of 5pin mini-usb & usb

Thanks

i have used the javax.comm. but not on blue tooth

you should do it some thing like

first write single byte for handshake and asks ur communicating device to send back any per defined byte for handshake.

then put ur code in if statement

like

if(bytercvd==0x32)
outputStream.write(byteBuffer);


after that to end the communication ask for another byte like

f(bytercvd==0x70)
serialPort.close();

u can have a look on this example for more details

Hallo ducks

Did you manage to solve your problem with the bluetooth COM port?

If you did, how did you solve it, because I have the same problem?

Thanks
