Hello ALL!
I wrote a simple java program to test an ibm communication api implementation. But it throws IllegalMonitorStateException when I trying to close com port on RedHat Linux 7.3. Please comment this situation if you can.
This is a program:

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.comm.*;

public class Relay {

static final String comPortName = "COM1";
static final String toRealy = "BLABLABLA";

public static void main( String[] argv ) {
try {
Enumeration portList = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifiers();
CommPortIdentifier portId = getCommPortIdentifierByPortNumber( comPortName, portList );
SerialPort serialPort = (SerialPort) portId.open( "Relay", 30000 ); // 30 secs timeout
// System.out.println( "Sleep before closing 1 sec." );
// Thread.sleep( 1000 );
// System.out.println( "About to close serial port." );
serialPort.close();
} catch( Throwable e ) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

protected static CommPortIdentifier getCommPortIdentifierByPortNumber( String strPort, Enumeration portList ) throws IllegalArgumentException {
while( portList.hasMoreElements() ) {
CommPortIdentifier cpi = (CommPortIdentifier) portList.nextElement();
if( cpi.getName().equalsIgnoreCase( strPort ) == true ) return cpi;
}
throw new IllegalArgumentException( "Invalid port: " + strPort );
}

}

This program throws following exception:
java.lang.IllegalMonitorStateException
at java.lang.Object.notify(Native Method)
at com.ibm.comm.NSSerialPort$SerialEventDeliveryThread.prepareToStop(NSSerialPort.java:1275)
at com.ibm.comm.NSSerialPort.close(NSSerialPort.java:240)
at Relay.main(Relay.java:18)

P.S.I found in an archive http://www-106.ibm.com/developerwork...ad=5511&cat=10 the same question but without answer

I've never used IBM Comm API before but I've used the Comm API from the Sun website. It is not their API (they have no Comm API for Linux platform). They redirect a third party one. The link is located at the FAQ page of the "Sun website", "Comm API download page". I'm working fine with it.

Coming to your problem,

"COM1", "COM2" are the windows names for the comm ports.
On Linux,
"/dev/ttyS0" for COM1,
"/dev/ttyS1" for COM2 etc.

Try to use "/dev/ttyS0" rather than COM1 and see if it's Ok.
