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



UtilException represents a util related exception.
 The API classes throw Java Card runtime environment-owned instances of UtilException.
 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, instance variables, or array components.




**Since:**
  2.2.2
