Description
card.transmitControlCommand(0x42000d48, new byte[] {}) does not work using 
TerminalFactory provider SunPCSC (the default provider)
Comments
The regression test test/sun/security/smartcardio/TestControl.java can be used to verify how Card.transmitControlCommand() works. However, the test isn't perfect. First, it requires a smart-card-reader which supports T=0 protocol. (I had to change it to T=1 to work with the card-reader I have access to). Second, it really only checks that the function doesn't crash (see the comment in the test): // we currently don't know of any control commands that work with // our readers. call the function just to make sure we don't crash // or throw the wrong exception We couldn't use any hardcoded command in the test, including the one provided in the bug description, since the command codes depend on the platform and hardware.
