Why fax machine code need the username and password?

Since the fax machine only know the telephone number....

CODE

class TestFax {  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{
try {

    long result;
    // Create an instance of the Web Service Object
    InterFaxSoapStub ifs = new InterFaxSoapStub(new URL("http://ws.interfax.net/DFS.asmx"), new Service(new QName("SendCharFax")));

    // Invoke the SendCharFax method
    result = ifs.sendCharFax("MyUserName", "MyPassword", "+1-212-4567890", "This is a sample fax", "TXT");

    if (result > 0)

    // Positive returned value indicates that the fax was sent successfully.
    // The return value is the Transaction ID.
    System.out.println("Fax submitted properly. Transaction number: " + result);
    else
    // Negative returned value indicates sending failure.
    // See error code definitions
    System.out.println("Error sending fax!");

    } catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println(e.toString());

    }
  }
}

What do you think ? FAX providers will do it for you free of charge ?
You'll have to register so you need a username and a password and with this account (for which you pay) you are allowed to a certain number of FAX every month

You didn't click on the good topics in Google.

Google Java Fax Machine

will give you:
- list of providers that offer Internet Fax Machine (usually in exchange of financial retributions)
- java libraries to send fax that you can download (some free some not) (few of the free with source code)

So I guess you cliked on the first type

Did a few searches for you... not as easier as I though
There are a few for Linux not for Windows....
Seems that it is a complicated problem
Most people use an OpenSolution (free) hylafax written in C++ which has multiple Java client as GFax... but this for Linux
I guess Windows FaxPrinter is a better approach

Hylafax is Linux sad.gif

Thank pbl

But my user only know how to use window application...

My server also all in WIndow, none of them in Linux.

If still cannot, I think I will format the pc to Linux pc.

Can Hylafax/ Fax Printer do logging/ reporting => who fax at what time?

Yes it does but...

Really sorry to let you do all these researches... my apologies
It seems that sending a Fax is a lot more complicated than it looks at first approach... (Than I think it looks at first approach)... my mistake)
I think that the modem handle really needs native functions (not methods [to use these C== guys terminology]) not available in Java.

I found an Open project working on Fax for Java. Not completed yet. If you join the project, you'll have access to the already completed code... and so you can contribute. But if your boss said "I want to be abble to send a Fax from my application this Friday" this is not a viable approach.

Before turning your office all the way around (moving from Windows to Linux [nothing against Linux]) I think you should look at commercial applications (email to fax) there are a few at less than $ 100.00. Some are free if you send less than a certain number of Faxes per month.

Hope this help... but my recommendation to your boss will be:
"Before you start to fool around (spending your valuable time) on Linux, which you may not know, look at commercial alternative, it will end up costing you less.
