According to the Java Communications API web page, there is no implementation for Windows XP:

There isn't *currently* an implementation of the javax.comm API for windows available from there... but there used to be... http://www.coderanch.com/t/277786/Streams/java/What-happened-Windows-Comm-APISun EOLed it and surreptitiously removed all previous versions available.
