I think you need to flush() the output stream: 
 salida.write( mensaje.getBytes() );
 salida.flush(); 

Also, you are 'swallowing' exceptions, which is a bad practice - if your
program stops working, then it will be difficult to know why :) 

In the case of this code, any of the exceptions you are catching and
ignoring would lead to failure of the job, but are not being handled
properly. If one were thrown, the code would just carry on, and perhaps
cause a NullPointerException, or similar. 

Instead: 

try {
  puertoSerie = ( SerialPort)idPuerto.open("AplEscritura",2000);
  // Se obtiene un canal de salida
  salida = puertoSerie.getOutputStream();
  // Se fijan los par�metros de comunicaci�n del puerto
  puertoSerie.setSerialPortParams( 4800,
     SerialPort.DATABITS_7,
     SerialPort.STOPBITS_2,
     SerialPort.PARITY_EVEN ); 
  // Se env�a el mensaje
  salida.write( mensaje.getBytes() );
  salida.flush();
} 
catch( PortInUseException pe ) 
{
  pe.printStackTrace(); 
  //handle
} 
catch( UnsupportedCommOperationException ue ) 
{
  ue.printStackTrace(); 
  //handle
}
catch( IOException ie ) 
{
  ie.printStackTrace(); 
  //handle
}
finally
{
  //clean up
}


Finally, by and large it's easier to get a solution to a problem with a bit
less code to read :)
