The Java Developer ConnectionSM web site provides a central place for developers to learn about the latest JavaTMtechnologies. The January 2001 article "Writing a Java CardTM Applet" introduced smart cards, gave a brief overview of Java Card technology, and showed how to use that technology to write a Java Card applet. Once a Java Card applet is written, it is ready to be prepared for execution in a Smart Card that implements the Java Card runtime environment. Preparing a Java Card applet for execution involves a number of steps, such as converting it to a runtime format and testing it in various simulated environments.

This August 2001 article, "Developing a Java CardTM Applet" by Ed Ort, shows you how to perform each step in the process. Topics covered include:

• Using the Java Card Development Kit
• Setting Up Your Environment
• Compiling a Java Card Applet
• Testing a Java Card Applet in the JCWDE
• Converting a Java Card Applet
• Generating a Mask File
• Installing a CAP file

Code, diagrams, and additional technical details are available on the web site:
