public class **PINException**extends [[javacard:java-card-api:CardRuntimeException|CardRuntimeException]] 



PINException represents a OwnerPIN class access-related exception.
 The OwnerPIN class throws Java Card runtime environment-owned instances of PINException.
 Java Card runtime environment-owned instances of exception classes are temporary Java Card runtime environment Entry Point Objects
 and can be accessed from any applet context. References to these temporary objects
 cannot be stored in class variables or instance variables or array components.
 See //Runtime Environment Specification for the Java Card Platform//, section 6.2.1 for details.
