==== 6.1.5 Transient Objects and Contexts ====

Transient objects of **CLEAR_ON_RESET** type behave like persistent objects in that they can be accessed only when the currently active context is the object's owning context (the currently active context at the time when the object was created). 

Transient objects of **CLEAR_ON_DESELECT** type can only be created or accessed when the currently active context is the context of the currently selected applet. If any of the **makeTransient** factory methods of **JCSystem** class are called to create a **CLEAR_ON_DESELECT** type transient object when the currently active context is not the context of the currently selected applet (even if the attempting context is that of an active applet instance on another logical channel), the method shall throw a **java.lang.SystemException** with reason code of **ILLEGAL_TRANSIENT**. If an attempt is made to access a transient object of **CLEAR_ON_DESELECT** type when the currently active context is not the context of the currently selected applet (even if the attempting context is that of an active applet instance on another logical channel), the Java Card RE shall throw a **java.lang.SecurityException**.  

Applets that are part of the same package share the same context. Every applet instance from a package shares all its object instances with all other instances from the same package. This includes transient objects of both **CLEAR_ON_RESET** type and **CLEAR_ON_DESELECT** type owned by these applet instances. 

The transient objects of **CLEAR_ON_DESELECT** type owned by any applet instance in the same package shall be accessible when any of the applet instances is the currently selected applet.
