Strictly speaking, such low-level, system-specific tasks are not those at which Java excels. For such tasks you need to use its JNI [Java Native Interface] facility to 'tap into' external entities such as operating system calls, or customised native-code routines. Do a Google search for the: 'javax.comm' package. It uses JNI to provide a [relatively] easily-accesable interface to the serial port(s), and may be what you require. I hope this helps.
