How To: Connecting a Serial Device to a Webserver

Hey folks,

I just wrote up a blog post outlining my week or so adventure on figuring out how to use Lucee & Java to read data from a serial port. My application is for a couple of weigh scales connected to our shipping system but could be used for almost any application that needs to talk to a serial device.

I found no Lucee/CFML related search results on how to do this so maybe it will help someone else out. (and tips on improving things are always welcome)
