JAVA handling hardware

[cools]

Can java directly interact with hardware without using the underlying operating system API's? I am actually making a remote acess utility where I want to disable interaction of operating system with my mouse and keyboard but keeping inact the interaction of the JAVA program with the hardwares .

Is it possible ? If yes How?

Java runs in a "Virtual" machine. By definition this means that it does not have direct contact with the hardware.
