some questions

is it possible to intergate with a digital camera with java?

if it is, is it possible to trigger the camera to operate with java?

thanks alot for the help.

cheers

This sounds tough.

I remember I originally had problems trying to get my Java program to read extended information from a CD-Rom (not just filesystem, but drive name and so on).

The problem was that Java runs as a sandbox, a virtual machine, secluded from the operating system. The simple point that Java is interoperable and not bound to a single operating system to me proves that this isn't possible with Java alone.

The solution I found was to compile a DLL, using C++, which Java will interact with.

I imagine a similar solution with your question. It's not easy.
Ideally, you could find out how to interact with your camera's drivers and make calls, via Java, to the camera that way.

I don't know how to do that exactly, but perhaps this is more information than you already knew.

I'm curious if anyone else has had any experience with this type of thing.
