List all smartcard slots in Java

Question

How can I search through all available slots in the machine so I can get each keystore for each slot, in Java?

As I've found, there is this a way:

PKCS11 p11 = PKCS11.getInstance("/usr/local/lib/libsiecap11.so", "C_GetFunctionList", null, false); 
long[] slots = p11.C_GetSlotList(true);

And from where do you get the PKCS11 class? – Martin Paljak Oct 20 '11 at 09:48

Headsup: this won't work in Java 9 due to the module system. – Yuri Schimke Aug 07 '16 at 10:38

This is not a very precise question.

But you seem to be talking about PKCS#11 (which is NOT the direct mapping of a smart card hardware "slot")

If you check the tags, you will see that it has pkcs11 in it. Not a bad question at all – marcelo-ferraz Oct 19 '11 at 14:45
Please notice who added the pkcs11 tag (me) – Martin Paljak Oct 20 '11 at 09:45
