Qt programming: serial port communication module/plugin

Question

Firstly please let me explain what I am trying to do:

1. I am using Qt to build an app mainly based on webkit. This app fetches content from internet and present it to user by traditional web way.

2. My app has to communicate many serial port devices, such as printer, IC card reader.

3. These serial port devices have different models, so that they have different communication protocol.

4. I want separate my app with the serial port devices communcating part, so that I can only update the communcation part without updating all the app.

Do I need to write a Qt plugin/webkit plugin, or some other way to do this? Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks

AFAIK Qt already provides a plugin mechanism.

Check the QLibrary class out and the examples there.
