Java smart card access using middleware

I am working on migration of an old project to Java, and I am having some issues regarding smart card access. Due to lack of documentation I am forced to find my own way through this one, so I hoped you people can help me.

I have a smart card and a dll library (middleware) that was used to gain access to cards functions. Using dependency walker I managed to get a list of functions that dll library holds, and that list sums up to Microsoft Smart Card Api functions. I was wondering if there is some native wrapper that enables me to call that functions from Java?

Regarding the nature of smart card, it should contain cryptography functions (PKCS#11), but I wasn't able to instantiate a sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11 provider because of this error:

Caused by: java.io.IOException: The specified procedure could not be found.
     at sun.security.pkcs11.wrapper.PKCS11.connect(Native Method)

Any guideline will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

UPDATE:

For anyone having this problem as well, it turns out that my smart card doesn't support PKCS11 and I don't have appropriate PKCS11 dll.

Well, I recently worked in a project which used to have Smart Card access for PKI Certificates and there we had the help from these two frameworks:

I think that the second option shall be something that might help you too.
