Setup:

1) Connect and setup your AD2USB adapter as per manufacturer's directions
2) Connect adapter via USB to your server's USB port
3) Install necessary drivers, following Nutech's directions
4) Take note of the COM port that the adapter uses
5) Modify the your app container's deviceComPort JNDI setting to reflect the COM port (default is COM4)
6) Using Ant, package your app into a WAR file
7) Deploy the WAR to your favorite app server (tested on Tomcat 6/7)
8) Enjoy!
9) Check local log files for any issues that may arise
